WHY SHOULD I TAKE THIS WORKSHOP?

One of the significant challenges we face on a day-to-day basis is working with others, often from different cultures and with different personalities.

​

Sharpening Your Interpersonal Skills Workshops are designed to enhance the knowledge, attitudes and skills of Christian workers in how we relate to family, co-workers, friends as well as those from other cultures.

​

SYIS is highly interactive. We will work, share, and  practice skills together in pairs, small groups, and as a whole group.

​

The best methods of adult education are utilized so that maximum learning takes place.

​

​

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Certain elements of each workshop may vary due to individualized needs assessments. However, some of the many topics that will be considered are:

∞ Loving Listening: Sharpen the skills needed to minister more effectively to others through listening well.

∞ Advice And Problem solving: Learn about the role of advice and ex- amine and practice steps involved in helping others solve problems.

∞ Confronting: Discover biblical guidelines and helpful skills for confronting others and responding effectively when confronted in anger.

∞  Conflict Management: Explore biblical ground rules for effective conflict resolution and practice a step-by-step strategy for managing personal conflict and helping others manage conflict. 

∞  Community: Gain awareness about what destroys community and what attitudes and skills can help to build community.

∞ Stress: Recognize the impact that stress has on yourself and others and develop a strategy to manage stress well.
