Rebooting Our Collaborative Skills: Creating Harmony & Cohesion In The Process And In Our Professional Teams
Presented by:
LINDA SOLOMON, LPC, LCDC, LMFT
Thursday, April 23rd (Evening) and Friday, April 24, 2016
U-Vic Faculty Club – 3800 Finnerty Road
Victoria, British Columbia
ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
This workshop will explore one area of collaborative practice that is often “left for last”, ignored or forgotten: Working with other collaborative professionals. How do you maintain or create harmony while working in conflict and with different professions? How do you disagree without being disagreeable? Harmony is like “fair” – we think we know what it means and we work to create that for our clients.
This workshop will give you a different lens and approach to harmony. We will look at the usual suspects: trust, resistance and honesty, and move forward to a new awareness on how we can positively improve our practice, for the clients and the team.
