Conscious Communication

Service Description

This training can be offered either entirely in person or hybrid (first half online and the rest as an in-person workshop) format. It is a 6 hour training it total for which ECE professionals in VT can get professional development hours through Northern Lights. In the training, participants will learn how to build positive and supportive working and professional relationships through effective and graceful communication. They will gain greater awareness of the underlying dynamics of difficult conversations and will learn how to shift a difficult conversation into a learning conversation. Becoming conscious of the way we communicate means that we are aware of what is alive in us and intentional about communicating that in a way that will strengthen relationships rather than damage them. In the workshop part of the training, participants will work through real life examples and their own active tensions and conflicts, and in doing so will gain a deeper understanding of each other's perspectives, feelings and needs. They will learn to identify their own patterns of thinking and how they might contribute to tensions. They will make connections between objective observations and feelings and needs that might arise in response to those observations. Participants will also learn how to formulate effective requests that will increase the likelihood of meeting each other's needs and set the stage for effective problem-solving. Please contact me for information about pricing and, if you are a director/manager interested in this training as a PD opportunity for your staff, tailoring the training to your specific audience.
