Organisations can work in complex, demanding and ever-changing environments. It might be with people in distress and in complex and challenging situations, leading a merger, or restructuring a service.
We can get frustrated, tired, and overly harsh, impacting the way we work with people and in our own lives. One way we can look after each other and ourselves is by making space for thinking and reflecting on how and what we are doing.
This training is designed to help you do that. It is meant to be a practical starting point for these complex conversations and to support the development of a reflective and learning culture within your team, organisation or for yourself.
People aren’t perfect. Organisations aren’t either. Perfect doesn’t exist. Instead, it’s about asking ourselves: what am I doing? and what am I not doing yet? We will often feel like we could have done better. This is normal.
Maybe we’ve worked with someone and we feel like we didn’t understand them fully. Maybe we felt we didn’t listen as clearly as we could have done, or something just went wrong. It is very easy in these situations to blame ourselves as individuals, to beat ourselves up and get stuck feeling failure.
Ultimately, it means wanting to change things and making improvements for the future. But before that, it means having a professional space to think.
We explore its purpose and how we can keep building our skills so we can move our way of working to “being with” someone, rather than “doing to”.
How we use our ability, skill, experience and resilience to reflect on what we have seen, done and heard, and to learn from it.
If we want to be reflective, we must feel safe. We talk about how we create the environments where people can share their experiences
