The Learning Package
Learn more about the 4 segments of this learning package here:
Segment 1: Getting Ready for Your Learning
Suggested Time: 1 hour | For self-study prior to the rest of your learning
Prepare for your learning experience through a series of readiness exercises. Getting ready for your learning might not be something you’ve thought much about before. We believe taking some time before starting a workshop to get in touch with your personal readiness for learning is an important way to set the foundation for focusing and deepening your learning for the best possible outcomes.
This segment guides you through a simple exercise to focus your intention for the rest of the learning package. The video is 24 minutes and will take approximately 1 hour to view and complete the exercises.
Segment 2: Welcome and Orientation
Suggested Time: 30 minutes | For self-study prior to the rest of your learning
Welcome to Segment 2 of the learning package for Personal Boundaries…At Work. You are welcome to your learning journey. In this video, we orient you to your learning materials and the intended progress you will make with your self-study materials.
The video is 10 minutes and will take approximately 20-30 minutes to view and prepare for your learning with the remaining materials.
Segment 3: Developing Personal Boundaries
Suggested Time: 2 hours | Self-Study
This video will take you through a process of identifying and clarifying your personal boundaries. You’ll also receive tips and strategies for how to uphold and enforce your boundaries when you find yourself in situations where they may be crossed. This video is a simple tool to use to help you clarify your boundaries and develop your internal guidance system for what you are available for…or not. If you have already done work on your personal boundaries, it is also a great refresher and an opportunity to fine-tune your boundaries based on your life experiences up until today.
Access the video and accompanying guidebook here.
Segment 4: Personal Boundaries...At Work
Suggested Time: 2 hours | Self-Study
Having explored your personal boundaries in the previous segment, this video will support you in examining personal boundaries within a group context - for example, within a team within your organization.
Segment 5: Mentoring for Learning Application, Retention, Enhancement
3 hours | Facilitated Group Work Experience | February 25, 2022 | 9am - 12pm EST
One of the things we believe in all of our training is that having ongoing learning opportunities is critical for learning retention, application of your skills, and continually growing your skills and capacities.
When you have the opportunity to gather with others who have also learned a particular skillset - to share your experiences, wisdom and insights and to ask questions where you still have more to learn - it offers all participants a possibility for ongoing and deepened learning. As part of our commitment to ongoing learning for your leadership development, you are encouraged to participate in a mentoring circle with a focus on working with boundaries February 25, 2022, from 9:00 am to 12 noon EST.
You also qualify to participate in all mentoring circles about boundaries in the future. These mentoring circles are offered without any additional fees for participation. Your participation is included in your original workshop registration. Invitations to future mentoring circles are available via the Dalar International Consultancy newsletter.
Register here to receive the login details and email reminders prior to the event.
Also available as a recording for self-study approximately 1 week after the real-time event.
