The
five modules collectively form part of this introductory course,
but can also each be taken independently. All modules are
interactive group teleconference sessions of 1 hour each. They involve
peer discussion or practice in small groups (over the phone).
The
workshop series and modules are for leaders, managers, executives,
workers or personnel in corporations, governement, health, academia,
and entreprises; or for consultants, coaches, trainers, faculty
and specialists in any organisation who are seeking the relevant
expertise or insight.
The
workshops are highly interactive, requiring substantial degree of
oral input, discussion and practice from participants in break out
groups, either to share experiences from your workplace or practice
specific skills being learned. You may also be asked to consider
and share with others how you might apply what you are learning
to your workplace. These modules are not suitable for simply listening
in, maximum benefit from these workshops will only be gained by
full participation. Some
supplementary visual support online may be offered, but this is
optional and online access is not required during the call.
