Mōrena tātou,

Here is an outline of the content of the upcoming training workshops. This has been provided by the facilitator Andrea Bankier of Sheffield. Just a reminder to accept only one invite for April and one for June.

There will be an email sent  to all attendees the week before the workshops that will include a small amount of pre-work.

Ngā mihi,

Gabrielle

Workshops Outline:

• Reflect on your preferred ways of working, interacting and communicating.
• Explore the impact of your preferences on people who have different preferences and vice versa.
• Reflect on the TMP profile for Library staff – insights into working effectively together to achieve results.
• Understand perspectives different from mine – based on TMP.
• Build confidence to deal with others who are different to me.
• Find ways to be resourced and able to resolve when people don’t work the same way as me.  Exploring options for when “my preferred approach wasn’t successful and I didn’t achieve the results needed”.
• Identify strategies to interact effectively with others:                   -Knowing my triggers and what will trigger a less helpful response in myself, when I interact with tricky people, for example micro-aggressive behaviour.                                                -“Please listen to me” – putting my views forward.  Using a range of techniques for a more courageous conversation.
