| Systematically Improving Your Professional Practice - Continuing Education - Course | ||

| The key to professional growth is becoming increasingly effective in the interactions that constitute professional practice. Central to this growth are processes for structuring effective interactions and dealing with breakdowns that inevitably occur. Participants will enhance their professional development by learning a process for engaging in effective interactions that focuses on five activities: prepare, open, work, end, and reflect. While this knowledge is valuable, by itself it is not enough to markedly improve your practice. Improvement requires facing the uncomfortable fact that no matter how carefully we plan, breakdowns inevitably occur. The second objective for the course is learning a process for dealing with breakdowns. You will learn to use the processes by doing, observing, and analyzing videos of three role-plays of three different situations that arise in professional practice. (We will construct these situations from pre-course information gathered from participants.) You will participate once as consultant, once as client, and once as observer of a role-play. It is amazing to discover your own responses to difficult situations through the objective lens of the camera. Using the tools in the workshop and your new awareness, you will have more effective interactions when you return to work. Prerequisite: At least one year of professional practice. | ||
