Restorative Conversations - June 4, 2020

Description:

Knowing what to say, how to say it, and navigate a conversation when someone is upset, needs support, or is really struggling are skills that most of us do not have or have fumbled through in the past. The Restorative Conversations training provides you with both listening and communication techniques to move fluidly through these tough conversations.

Issues Addressed:

• Not knowing what to do or how to respond when someone is going through a hard time 

• Fear of giving out the wrong advice 

• Frustration with colleagues who try to fix your problems without fully understanding your situation 

Learning Outcomes:

Communication Do’s and Don’ts

• Learn how to become a better listener through awareness building, common communication mistakes that disrupt conversations and cause people to become frustrated, distracted and feel misunderstood

Social-Emotional Listening Techniques

• Learn new listening techniques that promote social-emotional awareness, help people feel heard and validated, and allow people to process their underlying emotions and feelings related to an incident/conflict 

Restorative Conversation Steps 

• Gain confidence in guiding Restorative Conversations by practicing with other participants while experiencing the impact of guiding a person towards their own solutions versus giving them advice that they may not take
