Champions of Change

ChampionsOfChange

Nov 8, 2018—Penticton, BC: IndigenEYEZ is excited to announce Champions of Change, a new workshop series in Pentiction happening once a month from November 2018 to April 2019.

This innovative coaching and leadership training series will give you tools to more effectively reach your goals and foster the changes you are striving for—whether you’re working with children, youth, families, health, natural resources, education or employment.

 

Because we use a coach approach, we focus on the needs and priorities that arise from the specific group assembled for each workshop – so the topics covered in the sessions are both responsive and fluid.

You can jump in at any point in the journey and still benefit deeply – whether you take one or all of the workshops.

Here is the general flow and themes that will be woven together and covered over the 8 sessions:


Nov 23 – Setting the foundation for group learning – fun and engaging tools to foster safety and connections in a group. Introduction to coaching and change theories: how do we create the changes we want to make? Our elevator pitch: Why I do what I do. What are our dreams for the future? What is Syilx prosperity?

Dec 14 – Learning process to strengthen connection to self, self-awareness. Drawing out our essence: passion and purpose. Where are my growth edges? What do I want to change in my leadership? What kind of leader am I? What are my strengths?

Jan 16 – Strengthen connection to others. Empowering conversations: listening deeply, strength-based communication skills. Know your triggers and masks. How to give feedback respectfully.

Feb 1 – Strengthen connection across the sectors and larger community. Breathing Syilx life into our programs. Culture is not in a box. Trauma-informed approaches. Fostering lateral compassion and respect. Our Indigenous journey: historical timeline and visioning for the future.

March 15 – The journey of self-care. Loving yourself: taking care of and expanding our SPARK. What are the mental blocks that prevent us from self-care? Share tools and create personalized ‘rituals’ that are realistic daily steps to fill our own cup.
