CEU: 3.0
Presentation Summary:
Consider this . . . Growth Fostering Conflict . . . Say what?!
Yes, what might conflict that supported, rather than disrupted, connection look like? Come explore with us a Resilience Based approach to problem solving designed to engage our cortex through curiosity, ignite our mirror neurons for connection, and coordinate our entire brain for collaboration. By harnessing the relational neuroscience of resilience, we not only move from conflict to collaboration . . . we also create connection where all participants have the opportunity for growth. We will break Resilience Based Problem Solving into three steps that will move us from Conflict through Curiosity to Connection and finally Collaboration. Together we will practice and play with skills that enhance our ability to see options, work cooperatively, and engage diverse ideas and experiences as a resource.
Agenda and Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this training participants will be able to identify and engage strategies that support:
1:00 – 1:45 p.m. Objective 1: Conflict that fosters growth through resilience-based problem solving.
1:45 – 2:30 p.m. Objective 2: Building curiosity to support the functioning of the cortex to increase their ability to see options and to help their clients do the same.
