Discovering Your Strengths Tailored to your group: Your group is stronger than it realizes. By learning together where your strengths lie you become better able to access them when you need to. A work group has a potent experience in coming together, hearing their meaningful experiences, and deciding together where their strengths and values lie. Using the proven Appreciative Inquiry technique yours can become a more powerful organization. Just one day sets you on that path. For any collection of professionals: A shorter version of this workshop can be provided to a group of unrelated professionals. This is an eye-opening session and leaves people energized and enlightened for return to their own work. Stress and Conflict Management- Making Choices Purpose This workshop is intended to help individuals gain perspective on stressful and conflicted situations and find opportunities for learning from differences and learning more deeply about themselves. Instructional Objectives:
Advance Work
Description In this workshop participants experience activities and discussion that help them understand how they are responding to situations, appreciate that it is important to try to control those factors that are within their control, namely themselves, and appreciate that differences are the life blood of creative solutions. We encourage participants to reframe situations and look for the possibilities for new solutions. We use an excellent inventory as leverage points for talking about conflict management. The Kraybill inventory offers a flexible view of human response and comes with some excellent explanatory material. We use Michael Apter's psychological theory of motivational states including Reversal Theory as foundational material, again emphasizing human flexibility. We use the Motivational Style Profile to encourage participant reflection on states they have been using recently, on what might be contributing to their perception of stress and on how they might make choices to more fully tap their positive potential. Thriving in Times of Change Premise Leadership at all levels is a requirement for thriving in times of change; rapid response to change in this complex environment cannot be made alone. Learning to use the strengths of a group as the fulcrum for change makes the task much less daunting and positions the group to thrive. Description During the workshop, exercises and discussion will allow participants to explore these statements and their own trepidations. Participants will explore the appreciative approach through exercises and use other exercises to listen to discover common ground. In this workshop participants will learn to be constructive partners with change and use it to amplify the health of the organization. Value/Impact Participants will leave this workshop with: • Greater confidence in approaching change. • Greater confidence in the resources that their group brings to change situations. • An ability to assess the real armor the organization can wear through tough times. • The ability to plan for moving forward. Participants will bring back to their organizations an inspired leadership in building on the best of the organization and remaining nimble in changing times.
