Emotions in Your Workshops
Learning depends on emotions, how we respond to these can make or break not only a discussion but also a student's desire to be a part of the group. When emotions run wild a very important relationship can break which can distract from a students ability to learn.
Start with Introductions, name, where are you from, projects you train for…
-
What are some examples of emotions you encounter in your workshops?
-
Are there some topics that you anticipate emotions may be higher? What do you to prepare?
-
What are the pros and cons of emotions in your workshops?
-
What strategies do you use when negative emotions rise?
-

-
What individual supports can you provide to the participant?
-
What supports do you need in order to support the emotional side of learning?
-
