ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL SERIES
The impact of the pandemic is not over. The tumult of these past years has led to increased escalations, turnover, and loss of productivity. Dynamic new skillsets are required to effectively lead teams to the next stage and support adults and students in our schools to thrive. In this three session program, we will explore the neuroscience of conflict in schools today, discuss how burnout impacts relationships and accelerates escalations, find creative ways to navigate tough conversations, and discover what to do about conflict addiction. Participants will have the opportunity to deepen, apply, and reflect on their learning between sessions.
Participants will:
- Explore the neuroscience of stress as it relates to burnout, both healthy and harmful patterns, escalations, and conflict management to address challenges and promote thriving relationships and communities
- Understand the leadership skills necessary for today’s world, how to address crisis addiction, and how to leverage and foster team and organizational resiliency
- Practice key communication skills including feedback, levels of listening, conflict management strategies, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) related self/co-regulation techniques
