SUMMARY:Building Supervisor-Staff Relationships Through Communication
DESCRIPTION:Communication is the key to most successful relationships; the supervisor-staff relationship is no exception. Understanding each other and engaging in feedback conversations with intention\, adaptability\, and self-awareness is critical in building trusting and productive work relationships. \nEffective supervisors\, whether new to the role or coming with an abundance of experience\, tap into self-awareness\, are adaptive\, and leverage a range of interpersonal skills. Using these practices\, a supervisor creates a culture of mutual respect — one in which employees and supervisors communicate regularly and clearly about job-related expectations\, tasks\, and overall performance. \n\n\nRegister here \nLearning Objectives\nThrough this 120-minute interactive session on effective supervisory communication\, participants will: \n\nReflect on their own feedback experiences\nUnderstand the importance of soliciting feedback and learn approaches to building this into their supervisory practice\nDiscover the barriers to receiving constructive feedback and ways to manage reactions which support your effectiveness as a supervisor\nExplore the conditions that make giving feedback valuable and practice adaptive approaches to providing constructive and positive feedback\n\n\nTarget Audience\nIf you’re a supervisor with any level of experience\, this training is for you. \nAbout the Trainers\nJoanne Horgan is a human resources consultant and lead trainer for TSNE.

SUMMARY:Resourcing from Within: An Introductory Somatics Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As sensing beings\, we are constantly scanning for safety. In this unfolding political moment\, many of us feel an overwhelming sense of fear\, anxiety\, and exhaustion\, making it harder to stay grounded. \nYou may have relied on familiar coping strategies—some helpful\, others less so—only to find yourself longing for a deeper sense of relief. Now\, more than ever\, it is essential to attune to what is emerging within us. \nIn this dynamic and experiential workshop\, D. Farai Williams will guide you in recognizing the coping patterns you’ve embodied and introduce practical somatic practices to reset your nervous system. By resourcing from within\, you can cultivate greater resilience\, skillfully navigate stress\, and lead with more clarity and care. \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\nIn this workshop\, you will gain: \n\nAn understanding of the intuitive wisdom of the body\nThe skill of somatic awareness to purposefully regulate your nervous system\nSpace to investigate what matters most to you in this time of change\nNew strategies to build resilience and navigate uncertainty\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nBIPOC leaders and managers \n\nAbout the Trainer\nD. Farai Williams (she/her) is a trailblazer at the intersection of embodiment\, leadership\, and equity. As a teacher at the Strozzi Institute for Somatics and a dynamic Somatic Muse\, she brings a deep\, body-centered approach to transformation. Through her work as an Embodied Equity Leadership Coach\, Facilitator\, and Teacher at Dynamizing Equity\, Farai guides individuals and organizations toward powerful\, lasting change—one breath\, one movement\, one breakthrough at a time. \nWith an unique ability to weave somatic wisdom into leadership and social justice\, Farai doesn’t just teach—she ignites transformation from the inside out. Her approach helps clients: \n\nFeel more connected to themselves and others\nAccess greater choice under pressure\nHeal traces of trauma through a body-based approach\nCommunicate more effectively\nDevelop and practice healthy boundaries in relationships\n\nFarai’s work is an invitation to lead with presence\, resilience\, and deep alignment—rooted in the wisdom of the body.
