Healthcare professionals work with Sahar to leverage emotional intelligence to improve patient engagement and prevent provider burnout.

Meet Sahar Paz

Sahar speaks to clinicians, hospital executives, clinics, and healthcare professionals to expand awareness of the importance of using emotional intelligence when communicating with patients, thus leading to increased trust, stronger bonds, and better service.

What is emotional intelligence (EI)? It is the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions and although some have it naturally, it can be learned and strengthened. EI is quite often the missing link in patient care that has been underutilized for too long. As a stage 3 breast cancer survivor and healthcare consultant, Sahar deeply understands that intentional language cultivates trust and that customized patient care, not status quo routines, supports recovery.

Sahar’s high-energy presentations include anything from interactive audience activities to actionable steps, leaving your attendees engaged and excited about embracing emotional intelligence!

The key is to understand the root of the anger, tune into what it's trying to tell you, and respond in the most strategic, self-regulated form.
