Let's talk curriculum

A month ago, I presented the first adult education training curriculum that I had designed. And damn, it felt good.

Let me tell you a little about the training - It is designed for individuals within the workplace to better communicate issues and perspectives to one another.

When I talk about my mission of bringing civility and civil dialogue into the workplace, I want to be clear. Does it involve day to day conversations about the workplace? Yes. But does it also involve strategically designed curriculum. Also yes.

And that is where this my trainings and curriculums come into play.

I work with clients, and individuals, to learn what the current working environment is and what they would like it to be.

An example set of questions that help me determine a situation -

+ What culture would you like represented in your team/at your workplace?

+ What is hindering the current workforce?

+ Where are you falling short?

+ Who are the influencers?

+ Who are the passive members?

+ What topics would you like to address first?

By first integrating myself into my client’s workplace, listening, and observing what is happening in the environment, I am then able to step away, analyze, and utilize my knowledge of adult education, learning styles, and theories to create a curriculum we can both present together.

My goal at the end of every training session is to give you, the client, the tools to help navigate uncomfortable and polarizing situations in your own workplace and on your work team.

I seek to share this information because it invites the conversation about civil communication to continue further. Each week I will be working to share more content about what Civil Dialogue is and how Career Civility can be integrated into your workplace on a daily basis.

I will continue to ask for feedback and questions on most of my posts, so please, don’t hesitate to reach out by subscribing or direct messaging @careercivility on Instagram.
