Time to Turn My Attention to All Things Webinar
Tomorrow is the start of my next round of music therapy intern webinars. I am looking forward to starting these interactions up again as I find that many folks out there don't seem to get much discussion or practice in the nuts and bolts of how we have to do our jobs - things that are considered non-clinical tasks or practices. I like to talk to people about the practical considerations that we have to complete - things like time management, categorizing our interventions/therapeutic music experiences, self-care, and intern rights and responsibilities. It doesn't seem that too many internship directors are talking about these things with their interns. I know I don't often find the time to talk to my interns about many of these things, but I do try.
On a somewhat related note, I am currently involved in a video challenge. This is both a blessing and a curse as I am going back into webinar mode. My mind is full of all sorts of technical tips and prompts while I am getting ready to talk to the folks registered for this webinar series. Is my camera at eye level? Am I speaking clearly enough? Is the background too distracting? Do I REALLY look like that on video? (Ugh!) It will be interesting to see what thoughts go through my head this time around as opposed to times when I wasn't as invested in video presence.
We're going to start off the entire interaction talking about time management and organization. This is a departure from what I usually start with, but that's going to be fine. I will have to resort the last bits of my presentations, but that takes all of 30 seconds, so that's not nearly as time consuming as it may sound. We will talk about finding our own techniques for managing time as interns are taking over caseloads and starting to be part of the music therapy clinical world. In addition, I will share my quest for organization and some tips that have worked for me (and an equal to or greater than number of things that have NOT worked for me!).
Tomorrow is the start of the next round of webinars. If you are an intern, or if you know any interns, now is a good time to sign up and get started with us. Hope to see some of you tomorrow evening/afternoon (depending on where you live!).
