Acknowledging the power dynamics of multi-level staff in organizations is a tricky topic for most providers. Behavior is based in thoughts, feelings and socialization. To achieve maximum performance and ongoing productive programs with our vulnerable youth, we must first understand where both Youth and adults background, thoughts and experiences were formed. This workshop will teach participants to recognize, respectfully acknowledge and accurately respond to challenging or differing communication expectations and strategies and crises dynamics in their collegial, supervisorial and community buillding relationships.
