academic, clinical & corporate education
The Village provides a variety of training services geared toward building understanding influenced by cutting-edge, evidence-based, neurobiological insights. Our goal is to equip & empower learners with skills and knowledge to help you reach your unique goals.
Whether you want to enhance an already strong skill set, create new paradigms, or address specific issues, The Village can develop a plan for you. Below are brief descriptions of each major type of training option.
IN-SERVICES
Do you have a limited budget and/or a short amount of time and want something "Ready-made" and still including modern-day, PRACTICAL science-informed approaches? In-services are a great way to meet these needs. Generally conducted during typical team meeting and/or lunch times, these "off the rack," (if you will), 45 -120 minute training sessions are easy to tweak for your specific team. Here is a list of the most popular requests.
| EXAMPLE PROBLEM STATEMENT | SUGGESTED TRAINING MODULE |
|---|---|
| Individual/Group/Team Goal: Improve motivation, relationship effectiveness (including people-management skills), understanding of diversity, equity & inclusion through a relational-based, non-shaming, neurobiological lens. | “The Stories We Tell Ourselves” Understanding how “4-Dimensional” human processes affect our understanding of ourselves & others along with tips for improvement |
| Individual/Group/Team Goal: Reduce destructive, impulsive, or otherwise negative reactivity in interpersonal interactions. Define & identify anxiety, gossip, hostility, and the like. Avoidance of new projects or minor-moderate risk taking, or particular interactions or engagement out of fear or insecurity in objectively safe interpersonal connections, personal or professional. Reduce resistance to learning non-inclusive concepts and vocabulary. | “Listening Under Pressure” &/Or “Self-Rgulation During Difficult Conversations” &/or “How to Have Difficult Conversations” Attendees will learn practical information about key features related to their neurobiological “Brain-body” connection to be better equipped with ideas on how to maintain calm as they interact with others during change or stress |
| Individual/Group/Team Goal: Improve decision-making, reduce feelings of isolation, fatigue, and/or burn-out | “The 13-Millisecond Problem” &/Or “Threat Analysis” Learn the two “Paths to reactivity” in the brain, how to quickly assess the threat you’re facing, and methods to more effectively address it |
| Individual/Group/Team Goal: Reduce burn-out, struggles with motivation, morale, attrition, and/or high “call out” rates. Deal with management-frontline worker friction or a wish to begin to change corporate culture | “Whole-Person Self-Care” Understood self-care afresh as “A way of being that cares for the whole self, including connections” as opposed to simply “Taking mini breaks from an overwhelming life.” This session provides a method of self-care planning that leads to lasting change and improved morale. Practice activities in-session recommended and done best over two sessions. |
| Individual/Group/Team Goal: Improve members and/or management ability to manage change, innovate &/or change, deal with motivation struggles. Reduce “In-fighting,” micromanaging, or other ineffective leadership-based interpersonal interactions. | “Whole-Person Change Management” Define and identify individual and mindsets and how they contribute (or stagnate) in high-stress situations. Move from shame-based to person-insight-based change-management methods. This module highlights obstacles to staying in the growth mindset. |
| Individual/Group/Team Goal: Repair fractures, slights, and other non-abusive harms between friends, family, colleagues, and institutions. | “The 5-C’s of Repair” Define concepts related to relational fracture and learn a more complete, whole-person, courage-building method of repair. |
