A Little Grace: Increasing Empathy*

*This is a repeated session.

All sessions are live-hosted, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended.  

Please note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system's requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.  Participants will receive a survey email after the session and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys are also available on the instructor site under "My Trainings." Note, participants must attend the entire session. 

PRI supports low risk driving choices. Therefore, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You'll be able to join a different Zoom session, from a stationary place, at a later date. 

Description:

We titled this "A Little Grace," and yet I would like to suggest I want to learn to give "a whole lot of grace," especially when working with people to help motivate and inspire intrinsic change for them to protect their values. We have designed this session to leave us with an understanding of the importance of increasing empathy and tolerance of others - even when we don't agree - and a realization that we are each unique and tend to be drawn to people like us. This realization leads to a big question: What happens when we are working with those who have beliefs or actions that are different from our own? Let's explore.

Goals: 

• In this session instructors will understand the importance of increasing empathy for self and others. 
• Instructors will have the opportunity to recognize examples of discrepancies in our lives 
• Instructors will utilize discrepancy in order to pivot toward empathy  
• Instructors will explore how greater tolerance leads to greater tolerance 
• Instructors will practice working with the skill of empathy 
• Instructors will identify a change they are willing to make and share with a partner.
