About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Sarah Peterson, a renowned naturopath and the instructor of the new course "Postgraduate Certificate in Conflict Resolution for Naturopaths". Sarah, can you tell us more about this course and why it's important for holistic health practitioners? GUEST: Absolutely! This course is designed to help naturopaths manage conflicts that arise in their practice, whether it's with clients or other professionals. By learning effective communication strategies, mediation skills, and conflict management principles, practitioners can foster a more harmonious environment. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Can you share any personal experiences or insights related to the course topic? GUEST: Certainly. I've faced my share of disputes in my practice, and I've realized that having the right tools and techniques can make all the difference. This course not only teaches you how to handle conflicts but also helps you prevent them from escalating in the first place. HOST: That's invaluable. Are there any current industry trends relevant to the course? GUEST: Yes, there's a growing emphasis on integrating holistic practices into mainstream healthcare. With that comes a need for better communication and collaboration between practitioners. This course addresses those needs directly. HOST: What are some challenges faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is that some practitioners may view conflict resolution as a soft skill, not realizing its importance until they encounter a difficult situation. Another challenge is that each conflict is unique, so there's no one-size-fits-all solution. HOST: That's true. Looking toward the future, where do you see this area or industry heading? GUEST: I believe that as holistic health becomes more mainstream, the need for conflict resolution skills will only increase. This course equips practitioners with the tools they need to succeed in an ever-evolving landscape.
