	Employing People from Generational Poverty -- relational skills for employers, supervisors, human resources staff, etc.

 

Language experience, cognitive issues, and barriers to change are covered in more detail, along with the skills of mediation, relationship building, and mentoring.

 

Participants also learn about using mental models to communicate effectively, and to assist clients from poverty to learn quickly, explore options, and develop future stories.  This workshop introduces strategies for changing program designs, policies, and procedures to improve outcomes.

 

Participants will need to carry the concepts learned in this session back to his/her organization in order to plan for and implement change and improve relationships with and results for people served who are in poverty.

 

Participants will also have the opportunity to experience:

A hands-on segment for applying the principles to one's agency, business, ministry, etc.
