CONFLICT RESOLUTION: USING NON VIOLENT COMMUNICATION

15/08/24, 3.00-4.00pm, as part of the Membership Services Conference for Student Unions

Conflict is to be expected when you bring diverse people together so it’s best to feel equipped with conflict resolution tools. This practical session will introduce you to the Non Violent Communication framework – a process for empathetically exploring the emotions, needs and therefore solutions of all parties.

We will explore some conflict scenarios together and you will be invited to work on a low-level example conflict from your own life in order to apply the model.

USING WORK STYLES IN TEAMS

17/09/24, 10.00-11.00am on Zoom

Does your team ever get stuck? Sometimes there are those tasks that no one wants to do, or tensions about the way things should be done. It slows things down, when really there’s a better way.

This workshop will teach you a model of 6 work styles that show up in all teams so that you can understand the sticking points and work in more effective ways – leveraging everyone’s strengths, delegating and communicating more fluidly together.

WHAT ARE YOUR CONFLICT HOOKS?

15/10/24, 10.00-11.00am on Zoom

Have you ever said ‘They really push my buttons’ or ‘I can’t stand it when people…’? That’s the sound of you being ‘hooked’. We all have values that we want to live by, and when they are challenged, that’s when we are most likely to engage in a conflict.

This workshop will teach you the conflict hooks model so that you can identify your common hooks. This will help you to be self compassionate, empathise with others, and diplomatically discuss conflict in order to reduce or prevent it.

WELLNESS LAB: LIVING IN THE PRESENT

24/10/24, 1.00-2.00pm on Zoom

Do you ever find that your brain can’t enjoy the present? Maybe you are wandering into the past to ruminate on what’s happened? Or looking to the future worrying about what there is to do? Whilst past and future thinking have their uses, they can suck the joy from our day to day lives.

We want to help you to relish the present and make the most of everything it has to offer.

This session will introduce you to GEM; How Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness are at the core of living presently.

WELLNESS LAB: RESTING AUTHENTICALLY

21/11/24, 1.00-2.00pm on Zoom

Have you ever taken a holiday or weekend off and noticed that you feel even more tired than you were before? You put work down but you still don’t feel rested? Well, maybe you aren’t getting the kind of rest that you actually need.

Rest isn’t just putting your feet up (though that is one option!). We need different kinds of rest built into our week, and when we neglect one or more types, then it takes its toll on both our mind and body.

This session will help you to be more intentional with your rest – especially ahead of the festive season!
