The most motivational job that I have is being an Internationally certified full
spectrum birth doula. A doula is trained professional who provides
continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to their client
before, during, and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the
healthiest, most satisfying experience possible (DONA, 2023). I really enjoy
being a doula. It’s such a rewarding experience. Every birth journey is
different, but the outcome is the worthy part. Some techniques that I find
successful, and it makes the experience that more relaxed and controlled.
Teaching in the moment is a technique that I enjoy. Talking through with mom
and dad as the process progresses yields relaxing results. Affirmations are
another positive tool that helps. Whether reciting them or have posted
around the room really helps. Lastly, playing a music playlist changes the
ambiance in the room. It’s amazing how music works. If I were in a
healthcare management position, I would have a motivational huddle every
morning. Connecting with my staff and to make sure that they feel seen,
heard, and appreciated is my overall goal. I would also have a box outside
my office box where the staff could submit ideas, comments, and concerns.
