This course qualifies for STRTP CEUs.   This course will give participants the tools, knowledge, and skills necessary to promote more effective communication and relationships amongst employees of diverse worldviews, backgrounds and ages. A review of the key values and world view of the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Z will be discussed and applied to preferred learning and communication styles. As we explore these styles implicit bias will be demonstrated and how we can avoid acting from those bias. Additionally, participants will learn about and use non-violent communication strategies to have difficult conversations in a productive and respectful way. The final exercise will put people in diverse groups to complete a team challenge using the tools they learned in the first half of the workshop. --- Instructor: Mitch Austin Mitch Austin is an insightful leader and skilled facilitator with over two decades of experience in supervision, strategic planning, workforce development, and public service leadership.
