Building Drama-Resilience: Evidence-Based Methods for Transforming Conflict with Compassionate Accountability
Learning & Development
Drama is the mismanagement of conflict and diverts energy precious away from connection and results. Conflict, when managed properly, can provide considerable energy for positive outcomes. Drama Resilience is a person’s capacity to use conflict in productive vs. destructive ways, and can be reliably measured. This session will apply new research on the measurement of Drama Resilience, and how Compassionate Accountability can help people build their drama-resilience by applying an evidence-based method for engaging conflict in a way that affirms the value, capability, and responsibility of all parties involved. Leave with new insight for quantifying and developing drama-resilience, and a template for turning conflict into new opportunities for trust, innovation, and impact. Bonus! Try Next Element’s Compassionate Accountability Assessment and receive a Snapshot Report with your Drama Resilience Index.

Our Keelboat class will introduce you to two different boats: the Holder 20 and the RS Venture. Both have a mainsail and jib. The keelboats require two people to rent at the Aquatic Center (only one person needs to be certified). Students will be grouped for on-the-water training. The Holder 20 is perfect for those interested in learning how to sail a larger style of sailboat while the Venture bridges the gap between the Quest and the Holder. Both keelboats have bench style seating and can comfortably accommodate 4-5 adults. On-the-water skills covered include docking, person overboard recovery, and sail trim. Students will be required to perform a brief swim test. There is no capsize recovery required as the boat is extremely unlikely to capsize.
