TRAINING WEBINAR

Supervising Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers: Inter-Generational Supervision Strategies

Thursday, October 31, 2024: 12 - 3 pm CST

As each new generation enters the workforce a whole new set of dynamics develop in supervisory relationships.

When “The Millennials” entered the workforce about 15 years ago the TV show 60 Minutes did a show suggesting the Millennials entering the workforce “would destroy everything you hold sacred”! There was near hysteria across organizations and agencies looking for strategies to supervise this new generation that was perceived to have such a different work ethic, different values, less desire to ‘pay their dues’ etc. Although at times it was a rocky ride, everything we hold sacred sacred was not destroyed, Millennials contributed much positive and we learned a lot. But now … it is Generation Z creating a similar stir.

Of course there are also issues with younger supervisors supervising older workers who may not want to adapt to newer ways of doing things.

This highly interactive workshop will look at characteristics of those in each generation and what generational dynamics influence them in the workforce. It will also present strategies to most effectively supervise those in each of the generations.

 Participants are encouraged to bring real life issues to class for discussion and to share their ideas.

* This 3-hour training will include one break.

Relational Arts-Based Teaching and Learning: Engaging Mind, Body and Soul

Gerard Bellefeuille, Kerry Heaney-Dalton and Rebecca Stiller

Relational child and youth care practice is nuanced, making it challenging to describe and understand. The Child and Youth Care Program pedagogy at MacEwan University is centred on the principle that learning about child and youth care ought to be felt and embodied because once truly experienced, it can be shared with intention with children, youth, and families. This book illustrates how we explore relational practice alongside students, with mutually beneficial results.

Theoretical concepts are intertwined with vivid examples of student’s creative work. These illustrations show deep personal exploration and critical examination of ideas, resulting in learning that is meaningful and transformative. You may be surprised by the vulnerability and honesty, but after leaning into their own creativity, students describe increased self-awareness and capacity. Students also gather an array of interventions that can be used in their work, and because of their personal application and understanding, the usefulness is evident. As you read, you will likely find yourself pondering the pertinence of the examples to your life and work. Allow yourself to engage in ways that are meaningful to you, and you may be surprised by what you notice. One of the many advantages of relational arts-based teaching and learning is the transferability of the creative process.
