Principles of Conflict
This program provides a basic introduction to conflict. Key definitions and explanations of how conflicts arise, escalate, and sometimes erupt aid participants in early detection and awareness. Participants are invited to explore their own attitudes towards conflict and resolution.
Power of Silence
This program focuses on how to be a patient and attentive listener. Developed around the idea that silence is a powerful and useful tool, participants consider scenarios where silence plays a key role. Silence allows the speaker to be heard and feel comfortable, and a skilled listener will use this tool to help the speaker open up with confidence. Silence also breeds compassion and empathy, essential for effective business, family and community relationships.
Power to Confront
This program develops practical skills that empower participants to confront when conflicts with others arise. Often, perceived conflict and social friction are crippling and emotionally draining. People become overwhelmed with fear and let the conflict fester and grow. This program empowers participants to face conflicts with confidence, rather than fear confrontation.
Schemas and Stereotypes
This program introduces the concept of schemas and how they frame our perception of infinite daily routines and patterns. It then develops how schemas lead to stereotypes, prejudice, and ultimately racism and racial profiling. Lively discussion and role-plays help develop sensitivity to the problems that schemas raise in modern society, followed by brainstorming remedies.
Perspective Taking
This program highlights how people of different backgrounds and cultures have different perspectives on issues and events. Through simulations and discussion, participants better understand that different perspectives are not by nature “wrong” but rather “new”. As such, listening to other people’s perspectives opens opportunities for growth, change, and cooperation. Participants in this seminar come out with better skills for facing identity-based and issue-based conflicts.
Group Dynamics
This program focuses on the individual within the group, and how groups behave. Emphasis is placed on teambuilding, motivation, and dealing with conflict and stressors. Participants learn about different personalities and how they effect the team, ultimately analyzing their own team and group behaviors and attitudes.
Community Mobilization
This program was developed in the wake of 9/11. Many hate-crimes ensued as a result of this tragedy. This seminar helps participants identify what motivates individuals and groups to act aggressively against others. In addition, the seminar helps participants brainstorm and develop practical options for preventing and responding to hate-crimes and other hate-induced incidents.
Stress Management
This workshop highlights activities that help individuals cope with the stress that builds up in their lives. Using both psychological and behavioral activities, the program gives participants practical skills in stress management. Ultimately, these skills help participants function more effectively in the rigorous world they face.
