Youth Development

LOOKING AT CONFLICT WITH A SENSE OF PLAY:
Seems like an odd concept doesn’t it? For many of us, conflict is something to be avoided, for others it’s something to be moved through quickly, for others it’s an opportunity to make us better, stronger, faster. This workshop is geared towards understanding the stages of conflict and using specific conflicts as a testing ground to uncover some simple principles of managing conflict and find our way to the next step, including being adept at deciphering the root problem and finding strategies for staying safe. In interactive exercises, as participants step into new roles, they see new perspectives and by depending on the group new solutions are revealed that just might work. Along the way, through playful experiments, we discover many of the principles that underlie conflict. Contact us to hear more about it.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT:
Not everyone wants to be a leader, but everyone should taste it, before they decide they don’t like it. This workshop looks uses interactive exercises to illustrate styles of leadership and help each participant figure out what hers/his might be. A few of the large content pieces include having a vision, clearly articulating a point of view, understanding fundamental differences between messages given and messages received, and listening… yup, listening… hmmm.

BUSINESS ETIQUETTE:
Everybody knows the power hungry boss. This workshop will help everyone figure out how to better deal with him. This workshop is intended to provide training in the people-skills needed to understand and negotiate the culture of “business” through exploring self-presentation, public speaking, status and power dynamics, effective use of email and conflict resolution. Fundamentally, it is a practical, hands-on course to really help youth to understand how to present themselves to get a job, keep a job with some of the skills needed to build a career.

TEAMBUILDING FUN:
Any team is only as strong as its weakest link is a philosophy of some. For us at Process-Space, the belief is more like… We are ALL stronger because of each other, period. This workshop focuses on learning to trust each person and respect what she/he offers the team. Through a series of exercises we will help the group build a healthy identity and challenge it’s resolve. Facilitated discussions will help participants be intentional about what role they play in the group dynamics and increase a sense of self-sufficiency. As part of a group, participants will find the excitement of creative problem solving, the joy of just having a good time, and the strength in group potential. TEAMBUILDING FUN has several different content focuses, so contact us to find out more.
