restorative workplace
There are two kinds of workplaces: the kind where speaking up initiates constructive conversation and the kind where it costs you your job
Imagine a workplace where every employee from top to bottom collaborates to continually improve the wellbeing, means of contribution, and means of support for all team members.
Imagine that doing so uncorks a well spring of micro-innovations that would have otherwise remained dormant under the surface of more conventional hierarchies.
Imagine that immediate improvements in workplace morale do not require hunger strikes or HR memorandums, but a few hours with a seasoned facilitator.
the Burn out 180*
burn*out [noun]
-physical or mental collapse resulting from prolonged stress, overwork, or intense activity
People are deteriorating. Nurses. Teachers. Law Enforcement. Administrators. Social workers.
Here’s a thought: What if North America’s definition of Burnout is itself Burning Out? What if our collective illiteracy around woundedness and group support is itself causing as many people to drop as the traumatizing work itself?
The Burnout 180* workshop sidesteps the coping mechanism cornucopia in favor of the hard labor of workplace dynamics. You might be surprised what is made possible when trust is multiplied.
Restorative Classroom
From “expelling” to “Leveraging” Conflict
“There is no place where we can stop having to act like we are fine. We need circles. We need to teach this to the kindergarteners.”
School discipline in North America takes its marching orders from the Disease Model of modern medicine:
1. locate the disease 2. destroy or expel
Fighting. Girl Drama. BULLYING. Under the breath Racism.
What if such conflicts are the renewable energy source that so many poverty-mindset school systems overlook in the perpetual quest for more funding?
Leveraging conflict to forge hearty, agile and respect-rich school communities is simpler than one would think and harder than most are willing to undertake.
