We'll talk with you all soon!

An incredible episode with Director of Research - Professor Ben Jackson from The Kids Research Institute Australia - a masterful lesson in communication skills.

Our role as clinicians involves a whole lot of communication and there are evidence based approaches for how we communicate. This is so important because whilst communication skills are often referred to as 'soft skills', they are the key to understanding people.

In this week's episode, expect to learn about the role of the Self Determination Theory in motivational regulation, how motivational interviewing can move us along the continuum from from have to, to want to, to love to, if SMART goals the only way to set goals. how to bring people along the journey through some key negotiation skills and why the word "yet" is so powerful.

Dr Carly Luke is a Physiotherapist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Queensland Cerebral Palsy and Rehabilitation Research Centre, the University of Queensland. Her work across clinical and research settings is focused on delivering care to infants with an increased likelihood of cerebral palsy and other adverse neurodevelopmental and neurodiverse outcomes.

She has a strong interest in training and capacity building and has supported the implementation of the CP early detection guidelines across QLD and in low-resource countries as a HINE trainer. Ms Luke has demonstrated leadership in advocating for change to the model of care and neonatal follow-up for 'high risk' infants in North QLD and continues to support pathways across the state. Her PhD and postdoctoral studies focus on implementing early screening programs for developmentally vulnerable infants across First Nations, regional rural and remote contexts.
