SUMMARY:Rising to the Challenge: Leading with a Trauma-Inclusive Lens (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:People managers are facing extraordinary challenges in this current moment. The threats to our work and the personal impact mean that people need even more support and the work requires constant strategic repositioning. It is absolutely essential that leaders understand the traumatic impact of our current socio-political landscape on ourselves and our teams. Having a lens of trauma inclusion will allow us to face these challenges with tools that allow us to care for ourselves and care for our colleagues. Participants will deepen their understanding of the impact of trauma on themselves as leaders\, as well as their colleagues\, and will learn principles that they can apply to support themselves and their colleagues to lead effectively through times of fear\, stress\, and trauma. \n\n\nRegister here \nCentering on Care during Crisis as Leaders Series Overview: \nAs leaders moving through this current political dystopia\, people may be in a state of freeze (not knowing what to do and feeling stuck)\, fight (moving in urgent and reactive ways)\, flight (wanting to run from the challenges)\, or fawn (saying “yes” to please people and avoid conflict). This climate threatens our material reality (e.g.\, resources to do mission-driven work) and our physiological core\, and can prevent us from leading from a place of equity and justice. How do we (better) center care for ourselves\, organizational staff\, and communities? \nIt is important to recenter\, check in within ourselves\, and to act on the value of care. How may we tend to fear\, anxiety\, confusion\, or hopelessness through listening to our body and be attuned internally? Through settling ourselves first like the airplane phrase\, “put on your oxygen mask first before assisting others\,” we can then think more clearly\, strategically\, and thoughtfully about our work and our people. In order to lead well with care\, we need to understand the causes and impacts of trauma and learn ways to hold and serve our organization and communities through a trauma-informed lens. \n  \nLearning Objectives\n\nParticipants will better understand: \n\nTrauma and how it impacts the body and behavior in a work setting\nThemselves and their own conscious and unconscious responses to trauma\n\n\n  \nTarget Audience\nLeaders\, managers\, and supervisors \nAfter completing this workshop\, participants are encouraged to attend Rising to the Challenge: Leading with a Trauma Inclusive Lens\, Part 2. \n  \nAbout the Trainers\nRebecca Jackson is a clinically-trained social worker\, facilitator\, teacher\, consultant\, and coach. Her career began in a small Mattapan church where she served as pastor from 1999-2005. Her love for teaching\, leading\, and supporting communities of color soon led her to Simmons College Graduate School of Social Work where she began facilitating dialogue around issues of race and identity in clinical work\, which she has continued to do in organizations. Rebecca completed her MSW in 2009\, and focused on young people and families who have experienced trauma in her clinical work. She worked in a variety of community-based settings as a clinician and soon began to use her pastoral experience in the classroom and other settings. Rebecca continues her teaching at Harvard Graduate School of Education\, Boston College School of Social Work\, and Bridgewater State University School of Social Work. Through LoveSeed\, Rebecca applies her decades of leadership and teaching experience in supporting mission-driven organizations to strengthen their equity practices\, internally and externally. Rebecca creates spaces where people can have difficult but necessary conversations to learn\, grow\, and thrive. She builds sustainable and brave leaders\, teams\, and organizations that bring their equity values to life.

SUMMARY:Generative Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Conflict is a natural part of all relational dynamics: we all arrive in relationships with different needs\, beliefs\, expectations\, commitments\, values\, and ideas. Conflict is inevitable as all these differences will inevitably rub up against each other. Instead of avoiding conflict we have the ability to approach it as an opportunity for growth\, change\, and expansion. \nGenerative Conflict (GC) is a set of values and practices that encourage us to engage in conflict in more skillful ways\, prioritizing harm reduction. By fostering deeper connections between those involved rather than ruptures\, we can work towards more equitable resolutions to issues. This way of approaching conflict is a radical view to building new ways of relating to each other when these unavoidable conflicts occur. \nIn this workshop\, we will learn about how our own narratives around conflict shape our internal beliefs and behavioral patterns\, and talk about strategies to rework these individually and in our groups. We will use popular education exercises to explore ways of relating to one another during activating dialogue. By working towards healing our own relationship with conflict\, we will build comfort and skills around more adaptive approaches to conflict with others. \n\n\nRegister here \n\nLearning Objectives\nParticipants will better understand:\n\n\nWhere do we learn about conflict? What are our beliefs and patterns\, and how does this shape how we show up in conflict?\n\nBuild social/emotional intelligence about the self and others in conflict\nBuild awareness of power structures that impact conflict dynamics\nDevelop tools to address these dynamics and patterns\n\n\nHow does conflict show up in the physical body and how does that impact how we “do” conflict?\n\nSomatics exercises and tools\n\n\nWhat makes conflict go poorly? What makes conflict go well?\n\nDialogue including circle-work and breakout groups\n\n\nDeduce the principles of generative conflict. Practice these techniques using:\n\nReal-time popular education exercises\nBreakout dialogue groups\nCircle-work\n\n\nDevelop applications of GC\, and how to apply this within their relationships\, collectives\, and specifically the NFP setting.\n\n\nTarget Audience\nAll nonprofit professionals! Conflict is unavoidable and using the principles and tools of generative conflict\, it is actually necessary and desirable to engage skillfully in conflict for relational growth and adaptable solutions. \n\nAbout the Trainer\nAnna-Maria D’Cruz is a life-long learner\, mother\, clinical psychologist\, coach\, facilitator and consultant. She co-creates relational spaces with her clients that support them in growing into more expansive and just relationships with themselves and others. She works from a holistic approach that sees individuals within the systems in which they interact. Her intention is for equitable\, integrated healing for individuals and their communities. Her practice is decolonial and trauma-informed: by recognizing the systems that perpetuate harm to individuals and communities\, and actively striving to dismantle those in order to heal and be whole. \nAnna-Maria centers the idea that by building better relationships with ourselves and those around us\, it helps us build stronger collectives. In her facilitation work\, she focuses on supporting collectives to develop these values\, fostering skills in the areas of relational health\, intentional community building\, and conflict resolution.
