Disagreement can arise when we work together to achieve a common goal. People have different ways of  doing things, different past experience, different priorities and different ways of processing and communicating. This workshop will be  helpful in learning ways to improve our communication to express ourselves clearly and respectfully, and to help us work together harmoniously, prevent conflict, and recognise conflict early and prevent it from escalating. An Introduction to Non Violent Communication when Working in Teams  Part 1  =========================================================== This workshop is a 2-hour introduction to the principles of thinking and interacting with others in a non-violent manner. It is the first of a two-part series to give you the skills to bring non-violence into building a more productive and enjoyable team environment. The workshop will include: * An explanation of the way of thinking which brings us into treating ourselves and others in a non-violent way. * An exercise to help us see existing patterns of behaviour that can be considered to be violent in this context. * Understanding the importance of feeling heard to our sense of calm and psychological safety with others. * Exercises in being heard and being ignored and our relationship to the feelings that arise. * An introduction to the idea of how we all share the same needs as human beings. * Final discussion, questions, and conclusions. An Introduction to Non Violent Communication when Working in Teams  Part 2  =========================================================== This workshop is a 2-hour introduction to how to apply the principles of non-violence when working with others. It is the second in a two-part series to give you the skills to bring non-violence into building a more productive and enjoyable team environment. A pre-requisite for attending this workshop is to have already attended part 1 of the same series. The workshop will include: * Summary of the key points learned in part 1. * Discussion of how understanding everyone's needs is a pre-requisite to finding inclusive ways forward with a particular task. * Recognising and managing situations where pain arises from not feeling heard and understood. * Exercise in managing the dance between feeling pain and feeling understood. * Discussion of challenging team situations that have arisen for the workshop attendees. * Ideas for team organisation to apply the concepts that have been discussed. * Final discussion, questions, and conclusions.
