About the workshop
When we're working with adult learners - building relationships and empowering people to pursue their potential and define their own success - we can sometimes lose sight of the invisible boundaries between what’s personal, and what’s professional.
Topics covered
Participants in this workshop examine real-world dilemmas: causes, actions, decision-points and consequences.
- What kinds of social relationships are appropriate?
- What happens when we meet outside the classroom?
- Where are our professional boundaries?
You will also consider workplace dynamics, including bullying, harassment, discrimination and conflict, developing strategies to recognise occurrences and respond professionally.
