“I have never had the moving of my spirit, and validation of my existence as a result of participating in a training class like RENEW’s spirited presentation.”
People who have come to RENEW programs tell the story best. They speak of many positive changes:
TEAMWORK IMPROVES
“It was refreshing to meet other physicians in a non-professional format where the focus was on each other rather than on patients/patient care. That simple shift in focus was most nurturing and supportive, to give attention to ourselves.”
“The RENEW Conversation Group is a wonderful opportunity to lift up our heads and actually connect with colleagues as PEOPLE who have all the personal trials and insecurities we try to hide from our daily encounters. It is a safe and confidential way to take a breath and let fall the mask. The greatest value is the connection with others uniquely qualified to understand the pressures as no spouse or partner or family member can, however much they care for us.”
VITALITY AND CONFIDENCE RETURN
“You touched that small crowd of lives…all those folks looking for an infusion of energy to their soul.”
“I find RENEW can make important, positive differences in effectiveness and spirit in any department.”
ATTITUDES CHANGE
“[I learned that] I don’t want to wait for a life crisis to do something.”
“I am setting limits, reflecting, and starting to look at my core values more.”
“Upon reflection, some of the things I learned from the RENEW group were to look at the world in a more positive way, even when things go wrong; to try and be more aware of how my perception of a situation will shape my reaction to others; that even when it seems no one else is working toward a goal, they may be, just in a different way; and most of all, that we are all in this together.”
