Op 4 en 5 maart 2014 geeft Joseph P. Folger PhD, in samenwerking met de Denktank Transformatieve Mediators Nederland en het Centrum voor Conflicthantering, de training Krachtig omgaan met conflicten op je werk Joseph P. Folger is Professor of Adult and Organizational Development aan de Temple University, Philadelphia PA USA en is mede- oprichter van the Institute for the Study of Conflict Transformation (www.transformativemediation.org). Samen met Robert A. Baruch Bush is hij de auteur van The Promise of Mediation. In dit boek beschrijven Folger en Bush een unieke benadering van omgaan met conflicten. Deze benadering is sinds de verschijning van het boek onderwerp van vele studies en heeft bij onder meer het Amerikaanse US Postal Services en Capital District Health Authority in Canada tot aanzienlijke verbeteringen in de werksituatie geleid. Sinds kort wordt de benadering ook in Europa succesvol toegepast bij Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in London (Charing Cross Hospital, Hammersmith Hospital, Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea Hospital, St Mary's Hospital en Western Eye Hospital). Moeilijke mensen We communiceren de hele dag. Toch leidt dit niet altijd tot een positief resultaat. Wat zou het mooi zijn als we in de communicatie met anderen altijd begrepen worden en ons doel bereiken. Dat meningsverschillen geen breekpunt zijn; eerder uitdagingen om met respect voor elkaar een stap verder te komen. Onmogelijk? Nee. Toch ontmoet je vast wel eens iemand met wie de communicatie moeizaam verloopt. Is diegene ook nog eens een collega, iemand aan wie je leiding geeft of een klant, dan kan dit leiden tot een vervelende en onwerkbare situatie. Grip kwijt In een professionele relatie die wordt verstoord door slechte communicatie, verdwijnen gaandeweg alle mogelijkheden om nog productief met elkaar samen te werken. Kijk je daarbij eerlijk naar je eigen gedrag, dan zie je dat dit er ook niet beter op wordt. Je weet dat het anders moet, maar het lukt niet meer om goed op de ander te reageren. De kans bestaat dat je de grip op de situatie kwijtraakt. Destructief gedrag Zo ontstaat een negatieve communicatiespiraal: het beeld dat je van elkaar hebt wordt steeds negatiever en je staat niet meer open voor de persoonlijke situatie van de ander. Zo n negatieve spiraal kan gemakkelijk uitmonden in een vergaand conflict waarin wantrouwen en woede de boventoon voeren. Niets kan de ander meer goed doen en gedachten over elkaar worden steeds destructiever. Krachtige communicatie Gedrag van anderen kun je niet bepalen. Toch zijn er technieken die je helpen om, onafhankelijk daarvan, effectief met een conflict om te gaan en grip op de situatie te houden. In de training Krachtig omgaan met conflicten op je werk leer je om je eigen communicatie te transformeren van een reactieve naar een proactieve stijl. Deze verandering begint met het leren herkennen van je eigen basishouding in een conflict. Herken je deze basishouding, dan ontdek je ook het moment in een conflict waarop je negatief gedrag begint te vertonen. Deze ontdekking is het begin van de oplossing: nu ontstaat de mogelijkheid om bewust te kiezen voor de manier waarop je het conflict aangaat. Je leert strategieën die je helpen om de negatieve communicatiespiraal tijdig om te buigen naar een meer productieve en constructieve interactie. En dat is winst: na de training ben je ook in lastige professionele relaties beter in staat om vanuit je eigen kracht doordachte keuzes te maken en weloverwogen beslissingen te nemen.
Het programma* Dag 1 9:30-12:30 Waarom juist op het werk moeilijke situaties ontstaan De transformatieve benadering van conflicten - Destructieve en constructieve conflictcycli - Verschuivingen in conflictinteractie door empowerment (zelfvertrouwen) & recognition (open staan voor het perspectief van de ander) - Het beëindigen van werkrelaties op een professionele manier 13:30-17:00 Praktische strategieën om met conflicten om te gaan - Het herkennen van en omgaan met je eigen zwaktes en zelfingenomenheid - Strategieën voor het bereiken van een evenwicht tussen je eigen belang en dat van de ander. Dag 2 09:30-12:30 Effectief omgaan met conflicten: productief en constructief communiceren bij een conflict Het herkennen van een evenwichtige interactie: hoe zie je wanneer je dit bereikt hebt? 13:30-17:00 Interventie van derden in conflicten op de werkplek - Transformative Mediation & het US Postal Service Program: resultaten van onderzoek naar het succes van de transformatieve werkwijze in organisaties - Teamontwikkeling volgens het transformatieve model Het programma bestaat uit theorie en praktische oefeningen, zoals rollenspellen. De trainer spreekt Engels. De locatie* De training vindt plaats in Villa Jongerius (www.villajongerius.nl). Villa Jongerius is een rijksmonument met internationale allure en een exotische uitstraling. De villa is in de jaren 30 is gebouwd door de ondernemer Jan Jongerius. Na een grondige renovatie in 2013 vertelt de villa nu het verhaal van de familie die in het huis heeft gewoond. Jan Jongerius haalde zijn inspiratie uit Amerika. Hij reisde er naar toe om de Ford fabrieken te bezichtigen en na terugkomst liet hij in 1938 de oude hovenierswoning aan het Merwedekanaal slopen om plaats te maken voor het bijzondere complex dat er nu nog staat. Op http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/afleveringen/16049568 vind je een documentaire over de villa. Villa Jongerius ligt op 12 minuten lopen van Utrecht CS en heeft 70 gratis parkeerplaatsen. Inschrijven De training kost 495 euro, exclusief BTW en inclusief lunch op beide dagen. Schrijf je nu in voor de training via info@anjabekink.nl. Er is plaats voor 25 personen.
