Roleplaying Challenges

In the Adult Learning Model there is a necessity for learning through experience. At ADRIA integration of the skills happens through roleplaying. Adults attend our classes bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and skills and yet when asked to role play, for some this brand-new skill is incapacitating. You are asked to be vulnerable, and in a sense demonstrate your incompetence. Memories of childhood experiences around learning surface, and fear and tension increases. It is apparent that as the fear and anxiety increase, the ability to perform at an optimum level decreases.

Does this sound like something you have experienced? Would you like to clear the negative thoughts, fears, anxiety, and emotions around roleplaying, or for that matter, any other subject pertaining to learning so that your training experience can be positive and successful?

Then please join Gloria Lechky in this 2-hour session to discuss this topic based on neuro-science, what causes these learning challenges and to clear the barriers associated with them.

A pre-requisite for attending this session is to watch this 16-minute video on the conscious / subconscious mind so that your brain is trained and open to new possibilities.

An ADRIA Public Offering

Conflict is everywhere. Whether we think we are always stuck in the mud or able to rise above all the drama, we could all use some tips to better understand conflict. When we understand conflict (what it is, its value, where it comes from, and tools available), we are better equipped to do something about it and approach it more confidently. Understanding conflict may seem like “common sense”, but if that were the case we would all be much better at mitigating and managing it. Research shows that humans are less likely to deal with difficult topics they do not feel knowledgeable about. By building a knowledge base, students will gain a sense of self-efficacy to take the plunge and experience the joys of approaching conflict with confidence.

Whether you are a professional, in the trades, or in the service industry this course will help develop your interpersonal skills and add to your professional repertoire. This course is suitable for parents, teens, managers and supervisors, boards, committees, and teams.

Objectives:

This interactive course is designed to introduce students to basic conflict concepts, including:

what is conflict
the value of conflict
what contributes to conflict
roles in conflict
key components of conflict
transforming conflict into something solvable
basic takeaways for managing conflict when it inevitably arises

Outcomes:

This course is designed to introduce students to new ways of looking at conflict. With these new understandings, students will be able to approach conflict more confidently and effectively. Students will have easy-to-use tools that apply to a wide range of conflict situations.

DETAILS:

This course may be eligible for the Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) if taken in combination with other courses (CAJG approved courses or combination of courses must be 21 hours in length). Please consult the CAJG website.

Coffee/tea and snacks will be provided. Lunch will not be provided, but there is a fridge and microwave for student use. A Safeway and food court is located downstairs on the main level of the mall. There is a Subway and Tim Hortons nearby.

An ADRIA Professional Development Event

Restoring the Workplace After an Inconclusive Harassment Investigation

Positive relationships with others at work are an essential part of one’s job and career. When there is a rupture in work relationships – such as those caused by a harassment investigation – “Employee-Centered Resolution” processes can be used to supportively coach employees to regain their footing after conflict.

Employee-Centered Resolution may help employees present their views, think about what they are saying, what is being said by the other, and to make their own decisions on how to understand the situation and their options. Employee Centered Resolution processes can also become an integral step in reengaging and reintegrating employees after a harassment investigation.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Through lecture, case study discussions, role-plays, and individual exercises, participants in this session will:

Be able to compare and contrast the problem-solving mediation approach to that of the “Employee-Centered Resolution” process
Practice interventions associated with the “Employee-Centered Resolution” process
Learn skills needed to follow the parties lead, amplify conversations, and allow the parties to decide
Learn about the link between workplace- strained relationships and psychological distress
Appreciate that bystanders and witnesses are vulnerable to negative responses and even illness when working in a context where there are abusive or perceived abusive interactions

BACKGROUND

Employee-Centered Resolution processes are based in self-determination theory (SDT) – a framework that reasons how an individual’s psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness – correlates positively to job satisfaction, better health and increased productivity (Gomez-Baya & Lucia-Casademunt, 2018). It also highlights the importance of work relations that are friendly and supportive.

Strained relations are inconsistent with productive work, and they also impact employee feelings toward other co-workers and the organization as a whole. Extreme examples of strained workplace relationships often include allegations of abusive interactions such as harassment, yelling and bullying, as well as physical and sexual advances (Trépanier, Fernet & Austin, 2013). Those who target other employees, employees on the receiving end, or who perceive they are being treated poorly experience poor workplace health. The repercussions for the employees involved, as well as the organization, are significant and include lost time, decreased productivity, and employee turnover (Leiter, Frizzell, Harvie, & Churchill, 2001).

Mediators
HR professionals, Managers, Directors

Many people confound assertive expression with being aggressive. But this is not the case. Being assertive is about expressing your rights and needs without hindering the rights and needs of others. The ability to be assertive, for many, takes practice. But it is practice that is well worth it. Assertive communication is about respect for yourself and for those around you with whom you communicate – it shows that you believe what you have to say is important, that you trust them enough to tell them what you need, as well as that you trust them to be able to hear what you have to say.

Objectives:

This course is designed to give you greater confidence and skill in asserting your ideas, thoughts, and needs.

learn to identify what you really need and then to ask for it
learn the principles and benefits of Assertive Expression
practice “I Language”, Behaviour Description, as well as giving and receiving feedback in low-stakes and high stakes situations
learn new tools for self-disclosure to balance out conflict conversations and to keep conversations productive
understand the role of anger in conflict and how to use and defuse it

OUTCOMES:
Students will have more skills for using assertive communication effectively and will be more confident using these skills in their daily lives as well as in conflict. Students will have opportunities to practice skills in ways that give them flexibility for use in their lives.

DETAILS:

This course may be eligible for the Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) if taken in combination with other courses (CAJG approved courses or combination of courses must be 21 hours in length). Please consult the CAJG website.

Conflict management coaching also helps clients to strengthen their competence to more effectively engage in conflict.

This specialized coaching process has wide application in organizational, family and other contexts - for coaching people to independently manage their disputes, to more effectively engage in challenging communications, and to participate with more confidence in mediation or other ADR processes.

The outcomes of this workshop are that participants will gain:

the theory, principles and methods specific to the CINERGY® model of conflict management coaching;
an introduction to and basic working knowledge of conflict management coaching using the CINERGY® model;
an understanding of the types of skills required to provide conflict management coaching;
experience of the coaching model as a coach, ‘client’ and observer;

This course is designed to build an understanding of bullying (relational aggression) from macro, meso, and micro levels so managers, supervisors, HR, and employees have a better understanding of bullying, and what to do about it in the moment and after the fact.

Students will learn about current legislation, about workplace processes and responsibilities, what bullying behaviors look like, and how these behaviours affect the workplace at the organizational and individual levels. Students will also learn practical skills for addressing bullying behaviours in the moment as targets and as bystanders, as well as what can happen after the dust settles and everyone is returning to work.

Objectives:

Students will be introduced to bullying, concepts, legislation, and processes available, as well as skills to manage and halt bullying and restore relationships after the fact.

Learn about the policy environment in Alberta and the processes that are available
Understand why people bully and how people are affected by bullying
Recognize that in instances of bullying perception and reality are often one in the same
Learn how to uncover bullying and bullying behaviours
Learn key skills associated with witnessing and halting bullying behaviours
Understand possible approaches to restoring the environment after bullying has ended

OUTCOMES:

Research shows that when people feel confident in the skills and abilities to deal with a problem, they are more likely to deal with the problem. When people learn about bullying and understand what they can do about it, they may become effective interveners.

This course may be eligible for the Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) if taken in combination with other courses (CAJG approved courses or combination of courses must be 21 hours in length).

We all have conflict in our lives. Whether you deal with others’ conflicts or have your own, becoming skilled in managing it can be a game-changer at home, at work, and at play. It may be tempting to say that the problem is “other people”, but we cannot change other people more than they want to be changed. Instead, students will learn ways to change what can be changed, the “negotiables”. In this course students will learn the importance of separating the person from the problem and skills that will help them discover previously unimagined possibilities for resolution.

OBJECTIVES:
This course is designed to give you the basic skills you need to more effectively manage conflict, including:

Learn to separate the person from the problem, by:
- understanding your role in conflict
- learning to frame conversations around resolvable and neutral terms
- recognizing the difference between your perceived best solution and a wise solution
Gain a deeper understanding of your own and other’s needs and motivations, including how to uncover them, through:
- reflection, active listening, curiosity, and commitment to resolution
Find common ground and work towards resolution
Practice skills that are essential to conflict resolution, including some of those used by mediators, principled negotiators, and peace builders.

OUTCOMES:
This interactive and applied training is designed to get students applying key concepts and practicing conflict management skills from the start of the course, so students will leave the course feeling able to start applying their new skills.

DETAILS:
This course may be eligible for the Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) if taken in combination with other courses (CAJG approved courses or combination of courses must be 21 hours in length). Please consult the CAJG website.

Coffee/tea and snacks will be provided. Lunch will not be provided, but there is a fridge and microwave for student use. A Safeway and food court is located downstairs on the main level of the mall. There is a Subway and Tim Hortons nearby.
