Creating a Positive Workplace Culture: Strategies for Success
Tue, Oct 20, 9:45 AM to 11:00 AM - Salon 3/4
Lori and Stacey will begin by posing a few questions to participants to help shape the session. Working with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Boys & Girls Clubs of America adapted four tools for building a positive workplace climate that will be shared with participants: emotional check-ins (designed to help participants recognize emotions in themselves and others and develop strategies for regulating or managing emotions), group agreements (shared vision created by participants to build an emotionally supportive environment), the meta-moment (helps participants handle strong emotions to make better decisions for themselves and their community) and the restorative roadmap (helps participants manage conflicts and their aftermath). Participants will engage in exercises using these four tools and gain a deeper understanding of how leaders can help create a positive climate in which everyone feels connected and supported, respected and valued, inspired and excited, and emotionally safe and comfortable. When people feel supported, respected and safe, they are more likely to engage in impactful activities and positive interactions. Participants can expect facilitated discussions, video examples and situational exercises.
