Dr Andrea Giraldez-Hayes and Max Eames - University of East London: Creativity in the Consulting Room: Navigating Practitioner ‘Stuckness’ via Supervision and Strengths

Session on 15 November 2021 12:00 UTC - View on timetable

Session

As a manager, coach or other helping professional, it’s tough when your best efforts at helping feel ‘stuck’. Whether you prefer to collaboratively face such “stuckness” head-on or figure things out for yourself, two strategies tend to provide fast-action results.

One is to constellate around a ‘search for strengths’… and the other is to work with a supervisor who will help you reconnect with yours. Discover how to hone your craft as a practitioner or shape the skills of a supervisor – join us as we demonstrate some of the hands-on principles which underpin either approach.
