<h2>Managing Across Generations</h2>Millennials make up the largest percentage of the workforce, posing challenges to long-standing structures, working practices and management styles. With this change there have been shifts in the way organisations need to bring generations together, adapt the working environment, and manage a diverse population.This practical session focusses not just on millennials, but on the traits and characteristics of each of the generations found in the workplace, and the differences between them. Exploring preferences and behaviours through practical case study discussions, participants will work to understand and respect generational differences and commonalities, adapt their style to avoid a 'one size fits all' approach, and turn negative stereotypes into positive working relationships.Particular attention is paid to the impact on teamwork, communication, motivation, performance, collaboration and reward.<section>

Managing Across Generations

<h2>Creativity for Logical Thinkers</h2>Managers and staff in every forward-thinking organisation need to generate new ideas, products, services and processes if they're to maintain their competitive edge. This means that creativity and innovation aren't simply nice-to-have skills - they're essential for success at every level in every organisation. While some people seem 'naturally' creative, in reality innovative thinking can be developed by anyone. This workshop provides a great introduction to the creative process for people who typically work in a more logical way. Participants have lots of opportunities to use proven techniques on their own real work problems and situations. They learn how to challenge existing thinking and generate new ideas - and how to make sure the best of them are captured and implemented.<h3>Learning Objectives</h3>By the end of this session participants will:<ul><li>Understand how the brain shapes our approaches to creativity and innovation</li><li>Have learned some creative techniques they can use to produce new and innovative ideas</li><li>Be able to develop their work through 1% improvements and marginal gains</li><li>Know how to help develop a culture of creativity and innovation in the organisation</li><li>Have increased confidence in their ability to be creative</li></ul><section>
 <h3>Welcome, agenda, the brain and creativity and innovation</h3>Welcome to the virtual session. How the brain works - left and right brain thinking. Facts and research from neuroscience on how our brains 'do' creativity. Freeing yourself from a totally 'rational' approach. Understanding the difference between convergent and divergent thinking. Exploration of 'disruptors' like Netflix, Spotify, Uber and Apple. Agenda and objectives using 'chat'.<h3>The Disney strategy</h3>A colleague of Disney's used to say, 'There were actually three different Walts: the dreamer, the realist, and the spoiler'. Introduction to the NLP Model 'The Disney Strategy'. It gives logical thinkers a structured process for approaching situations in a new way. Overview of the model and group discussion about how it could be applied in their typical work activities. How to overcome blocks and unleash your imagination.<h3>Harnessing the 'dreamer'</h3>Challenging the status quo gives you and your company a competitive advantage. Using a series of whole group scenario discussions using 'mic', visual whiteboard activities and virtual break-out rooms, participants practise 'suspending logic' to try different brainstorming activities focussed around methods including post-its, random words, negative brainstorming, mind-mapping, storyboarding and blue-sky brainstorming.<h3>Kai-zen and aggregation of marginal gains</h3>Encouraging 1% improvements and innovation through marginal gains. The concept of Kai-zen and how this can be applied in any role, anywhere in the business. Individual reflection activities.<h3>Developing a culture of creativity</h3>Reflection on current culture and discussion of plans for bringing creativity more into the workplace, whatever their role.<h3>Action plans and next steps</h3>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person makes a commitment for what they will do differently in a group whiteboard which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.

Creativity for Logical Thinkers

<h2>Cognitive Flexibility</h2>People often have multiple responsibilities as part of their roles, and achieving these means being able to switch between one task or thought and another by developing cognitive flexibility. Being able to do this quickly and efficiently can give individuals huge benefits. As well as being able to manage priorities and time they will also have greater opportunities for linking concepts and ideas to generate creative ideas.<h3>Learning Objectives</h3><ul><li>Develop strategies to speed up 'switch-tasking' (as opposed to multi-tasking)</li><li>Learn ways to 'lock down' thoughts so they don't get lost</li><li>Be able to link ideas together to generate creative ideas</li><li>Model excellence from those who work in a scatter rather than linear pattern</li></ul><section>
 <h3>Welcome, agenda, overview</h3>Who struggles to switch from one task to another? If someone interrupts you when you're doing something, can it be tough to go back to what you're doing? Many of us will experience this in different situations. Individuals share their experiences in 'chat'. Welcome, objectives, agenda.<h3>What is cognitive flexibility?</h3>Flexibility v rigidity. How the brain works and how cognitive flexibility sits as part of executive functioning. The flexibility comes both in how you approach tasks and how you handle ideas and creativity.<h3>The 'multi-tasking' myth</h3>You'll often hear people proclaim that they're great at 'multi-tasking'. Recent studies in neuroscience show this to be a myth. Your brain actually switches tasks quickly between one thing and the next. Switch tasking (or cognitive switching) can be beneficial for when you have competing priorities at the same time but it can actually take up more time in the long run. Fun activity to highlight the difference between task focus and switch-tasking. How to model excellence for those who use a 'scatter' rather than a 'linear' approach.<h3>Building focus-flexibility</h3>Strategies for adapting when you have to suddenly switch direction. Locking down ideas using mental or physical note-taking, the idea of 'mental bookmarks' to allow you to go back to where you were. Participants are given a task to complete which takes focus, part way through the facilitator switches them to another task. They do this several times to practise using the new techniques.<h3>Building agility and creativity</h3>Strategies for being able to adapt to new situations and to approach ideas with new solutions with creative ideas. How building agility is like using a muscle, practising in daily life can give you the flexibility when you need it. Facilitator shares practical examples and tools to build your creativity and agility in daily life. How creativity can be seen in processes as well as the more well-known artistic areas and agility is possible for all people.<h3>Action plans and next steps</h3>Participants reflect on their next steps and how they will implement their learning in the workplace. Each person makes a commitment for what they will do differently in a group whiteboard which can be circulated to participants following the session as a reminder of their actions.

Peer supervision for clinical hypnotherapists offers several benefits that contribute to their professional growth and development. Here are some key advantages: Enhanced Reflective Practice:&nbsp;Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to reflect on their own practice and gain insight into their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Through discussions with peers, they can explore different perspectives and approaches, deepening their understanding of their therapeutic work. Continuous Learning:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to expand their knowledge base by learning from the experiences and expertise of their peers. They can share innovative techniques, new research findings, and emerging trends in the field, fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development. Emotional Support:&nbsp;The nature of clinical hypnotherapy can be emotionally demanding, and hypnotherapists may encounter challenging situations or difficult clients. Peer supervision provides a safe and supportive space for therapists to share their experiences, express their concerns, and receive emotional support from others who understand the unique demands of their work. Feedback and Validation:&nbsp;Peer supervision offers a valuable platform for receiving feedback and validation from fellow professionals. Colleagues can provide constructive criticism, offer fresh perspectives, and help identify blind spots or areas for improvement. This feedback helps hypnotherapists refine their skills and approaches, ultimately enhancing the quality of their clinical practice. Ethical Guidance:&nbsp;Ethical considerations are crucial in the field of hypnotherapy. Peer supervision provides an opportunity for hypnotherapists to discuss ethical dilemmas they may face and seek guidance from their peers. Collaborative discussions around ethical issues help hypnotherapists maintain professional standards and navigate complex situations. Networking and Collaboration:&nbsp;Engaging in peer supervision allows hypnotherapists to build a network of professional contacts. This network can lead to collaborative opportunities, referrals, and potential partnerships, enhancing their professional growth and expanding their practice. Professional Accountability:&nbsp;Peer supervision establishes a sense of accountability among hypnotherapists. When therapists know they will be discussing their work with peers, they are more likely to maintain high standards and engage in self-reflection to ensure the quality of their practice.
