"What Matters To You?"

What matters most to you?

Health and social care are moving away from asking “What’s the matter with you?” to “What matters to you?” (WMTY). This is a central principle that lies at the heart of person-centred care. This workshop is centred around how to set-up and have a really good, ‘WMTY’ conversation and why it is so important.

We will teach you how you can adopt a coaching mindset and use coaching techniques to practice having a really good WMTY conversation, and consider how you can utilise this at work, home or with friends.

This sort of conversation, and the associated coaching skills, sits at the heart of person centred organisations. Everyone has a role in setting up organisations that think and operate like this. We believe working in a person-centred organisation improves your quality of life, and the life of people you support.

Objectives of the Workshop

• Engage you in a case for change towards a person-centred approach.
• Understand coaching approaches that can enable person-centred care.
• Learn by experience, using the WMTY conversation as an example with each other.
• Appreciate the role coaching to enhance your own resilience, as well as those you support.
• Consider how these approaches could fit in their specific workplace.
• Generate interest in, and plan for further learning.
