2-Part Staff Seminar

To foster and maintain a healthy work environment, it’s essential for staff to develop the skills needed to navigate interactions with individuals who may be challenging to understand.

This involves recognizing the nuances of language, body language, culture, tradition, learned behaviors, and family dynamics of clients, students, and colleagues. Misunderstandings can arise when we assume that others are the source of conflict, often due to differing perceptions.

This seminar leverages the Seven Traditional Teachings to help staff gain a clearer understanding of themselves and their professional behaviors, as well as how they are perceived in communication. Participants will enhance their ability to understand people and situations without bias, empowering themselves through self-awareness and interpersonal skills to effectively apply these insights in the workplace.

Objectives:

– Identify and enhance personal communication styles and behaviors
– Understand the behavioral styles of others
– Recognize the strengths and weaknesses associated with each behavioral style
– Apply tact and skill in real-life interactions
– Develop the skills necessary for working with “difficult” individuals
– Enhance personal strengths while acknowledging areas for growth
– Confront fears and challenges head-on
– Strengthen relationships through effective communication
– React appropriately and resolve conflicts constructively

Transform your workplace dynamics and cultivate a happier, healthier work environment!

To truly connect with the present moment, we must first connect with our origins. Being “in the now” means recognizing our connection to all that is energy, often referred to as spirit. This awareness not only enriches our current experiences but also opens us up to the possibilities of tomorrow.

This fundamental understanding has been a cornerstone of Native American and First Nation cultures for generations. Through oral teachings and the symbols found in our surroundings, we are reminded of our roots and interconnectedness.

Ms. Handel will highlight the significance of First Nation culture in harmonizing with structured education, demonstrating how we can take meaningful steps toward enhancing our educational practices. Embrace the journey of inspiration and discover the power of being truly present!

Many still underestimate the significance of Indigenous identity and cultural pride in achieving educational success. While we continue to practice many of our traditional customs and values, we must consider the roles of teachers, school staff, counselors, and students in sharing our history. As educators, what is your responsibility in honoring our heritage and nurturing the restoration of positive ways of life?

Fostering an understanding and appreciation of Indigenous identity among students and teachers requires that each of us embraces self-esteem, pride, and a strong sense of who we are as a people. Join this workshop to explore proven techniques for self-counseling that will enhance your ability to cultivate pride and confidence within your school and educational environment.
