Over this two part series you will hear Gail Reynolds-Adamson’s personal narrative and insight into people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds in the workplace, customer base and the broader community. Each session is expected to run for approximately an hour and a half. This live broadcast will include ample Q&A time. Once the series has been completed you will be sent a Certificate of Completion for your portfolio.

Summary

When working with people from different walks of life on a daily basis, and often requesting them to undertake activities they may not be enthusiastic about, some level of challenging behaviour is inevitable. This is a two session coaching programme designed to build skills in dealing effectively with challenging behaviour from an employment service industry perspective.

The coaching programme aims to provide you with all the skills to help you understand and deal with the challenges of a modern-day client-centred employment service. Participants will acquire knowledge on how to enhance their communication techniques and to avoid conflict in the workplace. Participants are expected to contribute to the discussion of techniques and to consider alternative and innovative approaches. The model of delivery for this coaching program requires “learning by doing”, an active learning approach whereby learners will be given work-based activities to be completed as part of the series.

What’s being covered

Session one : Self-management, resilience, and communication & listening skills. Session is being held on Wednesday 7 February 2018 at 3pm AEDT

  • Understand the principles of how to self-manage and remain resilient in confronting situations.
  • How to maintain safe limits and set client expectations.
  • Understand how good communication can influence people.
  • Learn how to develop effective listening skills and assist clients to develop new skills in communication.

Activity : Provide a written example of a time when you were confronted by disruptive behaviour and what you did to de-escalate and minimise the effects.

 Session two : Barriers and limiting client behaviour, responding effectively, and maintaining personal and others’ safety. Session is being held on Tuesday 13 February at 12 noon AEDT

  • Understand the barriers to effective communication and how to maintain limits on client behaviour
  • How to recognise and deal with clients effectively when you feel like you are being provoked.
  • Have opportunities through case examples to link theory to practice and application for a safe environment.
