"Agree to Disagree" is a Copout
I wrote this program for Alpha Xi Delta to train different collegiate leaders as they navigated tough conversations between peers, in new professional settings, and strangers. It was designed to provide them with the necessary tools for expression in professional and personal settings. This program went on to become a nationally syndicated program and later a foundational program in the "Alpha Xi Delta Votes" campaign (Found here). I had the privilege of delivering this program to 20+ speaking engagements nationwide.
​
Navigating conflict and confrontation is a part of human nature, it’s healthy to disagree. When we have a disagreement it opens us up to the opportunity to discuss and better understand each other’s perspectives. But how often do we pursue the conversation? It is easy to get frustrated or to “agree to disagree”, but this type of action can inhibit growth and development. With appropriate tools and language, learn how to not just resolve a conflict, but to transform it into a stepping stone for furthering yourself and your Chapter.
​
Learning Outcomes:
-
Participants will be able to better articulate their perspectives and thoughts in a conflict situation.
-
Through practice of language and following simple steps, participants will be able to navigate their own personal and professional conflicts.
Program Outline:
-
Understand how to use language tools and the 3 step conflict blueprint in tandem.
-
Practice applying language tools and conflict blueprint to common disagreements for practical application.
Taking the Leap: Creating a Psychological Safety Net
This program was created for collegiate leaders as part of an anti-hazing initiative. This program went on to become a nationally syndicated program that was delivered at 60+ speaking engagements.
​
Learning Outcomes:
-
Participants will define groupthink mentality and psychological safety.
-
Participants will identify and discuss real-life examples of groupthink and psychological safety.
-
Participants will learn and practice applying a three-step framework to achieving psychological safety.
Have you ever been in a group setting and felt you couldn’t speak your mind because your opinion was unpopular or different from the rest of the group? During this program, participants will explore group dynamics. These dynamics can inspire positive communication, or alternatively, impede growth. Throughout the program, participants are encouraged to share their own thoughts and perspectives in relation to psychological safety and group thinking, and their experience with one or both.
Have Courage, Be Gracious, Make Peace: Give Yourself Permission to be Yourself
(Based on the book Braving the Wilderness by Brené Brown)
This program was written for collegiate women and delivered to groups of 20 or more throughout the United States.
​
Learning Outcomes:
-
Participants will define and discuss what vulnerability looks like.
-
Participants will connect courage and grace with overcoming shame and setbacks, to make peace with themselves and others.
-
Participants will set an intention for themselves, to have “permission” to show up as their most authentic selves.
If you aren’t willing to fail, you cannot grow, if you don’t construct an open environment, you can’t create. Have you ever tried something only to fail? Maybe you tried and tried again and succeeded, or maybe you decided to pursue other things. What’s important is having the courage to show up. This is how you can measure vulnerability. Showing up despite the outcome, with grace and maybe sometimes, you made your peace with the outcome, failure or not. Give yourself permission to show up and to have the courage to try.
Value Values: How Values Play a Role in Who You Are
This program was written for collegians and delivered at 20+ campuses to groups of 20 to 300.
​
Learning Outcomes, Participants will be able to:
-
Identify their values and how they play a role in their everyday lives
-
Evaluate how their values contribute to their organization and are represented in each other
-
Give examples of real-life scenarios in which they use their and the Collegiate organization's values
Encourage yourself and support others on your journey to discovering all your unique talents and how you can embrace them. Confidence isn’t walking into a room, and thinking you are better than everyone else, it’s walking into a room and not having to compare yourself to anyone in the first place. Be proud of yourself, you are more than you think you are. Tune into your values and turn them up, you never know what you can do, until you do it.
Just 5 More Minutes: All the Time You Need for Better Time Management
This program was created for new college students and was later used at two national conferences that cater to collegiate student leaders.
​
Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to:
-
Develop a better understanding of how improved time management can positively impact their mental, physical, and professional well-being through personal reflection.
-
Actively use the 7 Habits to create a more time-managed schedule based on their personal time commitments.
Thriving instead of surviving. Making time for all the things that are important as well as ourselves. It sounds too good to be true. With proper time management, however, you can learn how to get the best of your time without it getting the best of you. Often, we comb through our schedule to find bits of time we can shave off and add together so that we have time to dedicate to the things we’d prefer to be doing. However, instead of saving time to build the lives we want, what if we build our lives and schedules in a way that time will save itself?
Confidence is Key
This program was written for collegiate leaders for Alpha Xi Delta Women's Fraternity as a part of their leadership programming.
​
Learning Outcomes, participants will be able to:
​
-
Identify Qualities and characteristics of a confident attitude as well as confident role models
-
Evaluate themselves, their qualities, and abilities, and how they contribute to their character
-
Articulate habits they can put into practice to grow and maintain their self-confidence
There is a level of self-assurance we feel when surrounded by friends or the comfort of a familiar place, this confidence can go a long way personally and professionally. It can help us create new opportunities, build new relationships, drive conversation, network, drive us to achieve our goals, and set an example of strong leadership for others. This confidence stems from an appreciation of your qualities and abilities, and a firm trust in yourself. In this program, participants will work to articulate what their brand of confidence looks like and how they can turn it up by changing their perspective and implementing various practices and habits.
