SmARTS for Well-Being

Inquiry:

How can we de-escalate a conflict?

How can we eliminate the emotional reaction and respond thoughtfully instead?

How can we re-establish relationships so they work?

What Participants Will Do and Learn?

Using a Socratic approach and experiential learning, participants will engage in individual and cooperative activities to build Social and Emotional Learning skills and community. Create a culture of mutual respect as well as a new model of communication and you can transform your workplace. Participants will:

• “Separate the Story”: Detach the story from the event so it loses its grip.

•  “Make-it-Right Formula”: Re-establish relationships so they work.

• “Through Your Lenses”: Assimilate perspective training to eliminate the emotional reaction and respond thoughtfully instead. Learn to de-escalate a conflict and calm someone down.

You and your colleagues will be able to:

1.   Eliminate the emotional reaction and respond thoughtfully instead

2.   De-escalate a conflict and calm someone down

3.   Implement the “Make it Right” formula so one can move forward

4.   Bring down the stress level in yourself and others
