CREATING VISION FOCUSED STAFF MEETINGS
It all starts with a vision! Learn how to create, plan, organize and conduct staff meetings that bring your vision for positive programmatic change to life!

APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY: A POWERFUL PROCESS FOR SUPPORTING PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
Positive thinking leads to positive change! The Appreciative Inquiry (AI) process is a strength-based method for imagining, designing and developing both personal and organizational change. A clear overview of the five principles of AI and the 4 D Model will be introduced and examined. We will explore the power of questions and discover how to engage all stakeholders in powerful dialogues. You will leave with new skills that you will be able to immediately apply to your professional work.
OVERCOME YOUR IMMUNITY TO CHANGE
Change is hard, and something that we tend to avoid. In this experiential, interactive presentation you will identify the goals you would like to achieve and uncover your own “immune” system, allowing you to discover how to break the grip on your immunity to change. You will leave with a new perspective on how to approach the change process, and a renewed clarity on how to move forward with positive changes to enhance your professional life and your program.
This training is based on the book Immunity to Change by Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey.
