Teams & Workplace Workshops
We offer a range of workshops to to help your managers, HR or other staff develop skills and tools for better communication and mutual understanding in the workplace with colleagues, clients and stakeholders.
We spend much of our lives at our workplace. The workplace can be a source of community and empowerment or it can be the opposite. These workshops are designed to strengthen employees and work teams as well as our work with clients and the wider community.
Workshops can be offered online and/or in-person. Please contact Building Bridges to discuss details.
DEALING WITH DIFFICULT / ANGRY PEOPLE: moving from enemy to ally
Facing an angry or “difficult” person can feel overwhelming. This workshop explores an approach and a set of tools suited to quickly defusing angry or ‘difficult’ behaviour positively – safely, balancing both care and respect.RESOLVING CONFLICTS POSITIVELY: Win-Win Problem Solving & Collaborative Communication
Conflict is a natural part of every relationship. A healthy relationship resolves those differences in a positive way. This “how to” workshop introduces approaches, tools & techniques that lead to win-win solutions.
BUILDING BRIDGES: Win-Win Communication
How you communicate determines whether you get stuck in a conflict or move through it to a positive outcome. This “how to” workshop provides an approach and specific communication tools that lead to positive results.
Effective Feedback and Requesting Behaviour Change
Giving feedback and requesting change can feel stressful. But it doesn’t have to be. We will explore an approach and techniques that make the experience positive for both the person offering and receiving feedback and/or requests for change.
Executive/Manager/Employee Coaching
One employee’s behaviour or style can negatively impact a team, department, or an entire organization. Yet simply removing the person may not solve the problem and can be even more costly to the organization. This series of one-hour sessions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the employee to support their growth in self-awareness and interpersonal skills.
Respectful Workplace – Keeping the Sandbox Safe and Collegial
In our present cultural climate, it is essential to ensure that your workplace is respectful and harassment-free. But what does this actually mean or look like? This interactive workshop provides information through discussions, scenarios, games & activities, and communication techniques practice.
SELF-CARE: Remembering ‘This is my life!’
The challenges of work and of life in general can be overwhelming. And just as often it is hard to “remember to breathe,” let alone to take care of ourselves. The workshop explores the challenges and solutions in an educational and fun way.
Building a Strong Team
A team can be powerful and creative or destructive and stifling. This workshop examines what makes a team effective and provides practical tools to help your team reach its full potential.
“Keiron was able to read the participants. He was able to stay in line (targeting the issues) while allowing room for involvement from the group. The skills that were exposed to me were very insightful and will be extremely helpful and the stories were a good example of seeing the skills in use.”
