4 Steps to Effective Communication Program Overview: The session will focus on 4 steps to effective communication, emphasizing self, situational, and relational awareness and understanding others’ behavioral styles.

We all have our preferred ways of communication, often sticking to familiar patterns. However, there are times when adapting to more effective behaviors is necessary. This program aims to guide participants in stepping outside their comfort zones to discover approaches better suited to various roles and situations. By understanding our natural communication style as a baseline, we can proactively modify our behaviors for improved interactions, ultimately developing a strategic communication response.

Discovering the DISC framework
Take a deep dive into the world of the DISC Model, unraveling the nuances of each behavioral style (D, I, S, and C) to gain insights into human behavior.
Self-Discovery Journey using the DISC Individual Assessment:
Embark on a journey of self-discovery through personalized DISC Individual Assessments. Highlights your unique strengths, weaknesses, and communication preferences, paving the way for enhanced self-awareness and personal growth.
Identifying Main Styles in Others:
Master the art of identifying behavioral styles in others using the OAR Model (Observe, Assess, Recognize). Build rapport effortlessly and forge deeper connections with your colleagues and clients.
Adjusting Communication Styles for Improved Interactions:
Examine powerful strategies to adjust your communication style for maximum impact. Watch as your interactions become more meaningful, efficient, and results-driven.
Team Assessment:
Our session culminates in a collaborative Team Assessment, where we decode your team’s collective DISC style and co-create actionable strategies for collaboration and synergy.

Each year, the Office of Colorado’s Child Protection Ombudsman (CPO) responds to over a thousand complaints from foster parents, respondent parents, services providers, youth, and many others involved in the Colorado child protection system.

Brain & Behavior Research Foundation presents: ADHD: What You Need to Know – A Q&A with Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, Ph.D. VIRTUAL
2024-12-04 17:00 - 17:30 | CO
Wednesday, December 4, 2024
5:00PM – 5:30PM MST via Zoom
Teachers, school counselors and other educational professionals are on the front line in helping students with mental health challenges and can be among the first to notice when a child is struggling. In their pivotal relationships with students and families, these professionals are often in a position to match resources with needs. By expanding their knowledge of mental health issues experienced by young people, school faculty and staff may be better able to intervene earlier and make referrals for evaluation and assistance which can positively impact student well-being, performance and family life.
This conversation will provide educators with a deeper understanding of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and the variety of ways ADHD presents in young people. BBRF President & CEO, Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein and Dr. Stephen Hinshaw will discuss the different ways the disorder manifests, differences in presentation between boys and girls, and provide advice for caregivers and educators as to how to help young people lead successful lives after diagnosis.
