I contacted Jo in Canada today to find out what we put into the Aim High programme we ran for 6th formers and this is what she remembered.
"I remember it
well... maybe not the exact order though...
1) Problem
Solving: we covered a few TQ tools like mindmapping, forcefield
analysis, pareto principle, etc.
2)
Assertiveness: this was extracted from a program that Wendy was a trainer
on, if I remember correctly - we got permission from the author to use it in an
abbreviated form. Assertion vs aggression. Getting to win-win. Rights,
needs, wants.
3) Negotiation
Skills: building from the assertiveness, I think we did role plays here,
setting scenarios, and offering feedback...? Can't remember the content
though....
4)
Presentation Skills: we used mindmapping to help them plan their content. Body
language & getting the message across. Grounding techniques. Feedback
principles.
5) Wrap-up
was that unforgettable team presentation/skit where they had to
incorporate as many of the things they'd learned over the 2 days
into a short summary in the style of their choosing :)
We prepared
A5 workbooks for them too that were really great."
