SUMMARY:Conflict Management Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Conflict is a natural part of working with others—and when approached with skill and intention\, it becomes a powerful catalyst for stronger relationships\, clearer communication\, and healthier teams. This immersive one-day workshop supports participants in understanding the dynamics that shape conflict and in developing practical tools to navigate it with confidence and compassion. \n\n\n\nYour FacilitatorThis session is facilitated by Maureen Van Overliw\, founder of Leadership Lab Consulting. Maureen is certified in emotional intelligence (EQ-i 2.0 & EQ-360) and brings extensive experience supporting leaders\, teams\, and organizations across the North and beyond. Her facilitation approach is grounded in cultural sensitivity\, trauma-informed practice\, and a deep commitment to helping people strengthen their leadership presence. Known for creating safe\, engaging learning environments\, Maureen weaves together practical tools\, reflective exercises\, and real-world application to support meaningful growth. \n\n\n\nWhat We’ll ExploreThroughout the day\, participants examine what enables teams to function at their best and what contributes to dysfunction\, using real workplace scenarios that bring these concepts to life. Four key frameworks anchor the learning: \n\n\n\n• Heather Plett’s Model of Identity\, Belonging\, and SafetyThis model helps leaders recognize how psychological safety and a sense of belonging influence how people show up in challenging conversations. Understanding these dynamics allows leaders to create conditions where conflict can be addressed respectfully rather than avoided or escalated. \n\n\n\n\nHeather Plett’s Model of Identity\, Belonging\, and SafetyThis model helps leaders recognize how psychological safety and a sense of belonging influence how people show up in challenging conversations. Understanding these dynamics allows leaders to create conditions where conflict can be addressed respectfully rather than avoided or escalated.\n\n\n\nThomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)Participants learn about their preferred conflict modes—Competing\, Collaborating\, Compromising\, Avoiding\, and Accommodating—and how each can be effective when used intentionally. This awareness helps leaders adapt their approach to better meet the needs of the situation and the people involved.\n\n\n\nGervase Bushe’s Experience CubeThe Cube offers a structured way to examine what we observe\, think\, feel\, and want before or during conflict. This clarity supports grounded\, transparent communication and reduces misinterpretation and reactivity.\n\n\n\nFunctional vs. Dysfunctional Team DynamicsThrough examining trust\, accountability\, communication\, and shared purpose\, participants reflect on how team health influences conflict—and how leaders can shape a more supportive team environment.\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, these models provide a rich\, practical foundation for building conflict management skills rooted in emotional intelligence\, cultural awareness\, and leadership practice. The session balances learning with application\, ensuring participants leave with strategies they can confidently use “in the wild.” \n\n\n\nThis workshop welcomes anyone interested in strengthening their ability to navigate conflict\, regardless of role or level of responsibility. Whether you lead teams\, collaborate with peers\, or support clients\, you will gain valuable insights and tools to support more effective\, respectful\, and grounded interactions. \n\n\n\nDates: February 20\, 2026 \n\n\n\nTimes: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nLocation: In Person Session \n\n\n\nInstructor: Maureen Van Overliw – Leadership Lab Consulting \n\n\n\nCost: $550.00 (includes material and TKI report)

SUMMARY:IAP2 Certificate in Public Engagement - In-person Yellowknife
DESCRIPTION:Offered by Aurora CollegeIn partnership with Dialogue Partners Inc. \n\n\n\nThis series of 3 courses (Fundamentals of P2\, Designing P2 and Applying Methods P2) make up the core modules of the IAP2’s training. These courses provide participants with a deep dive into IAP2’s frameworks including building a robust engagement plan and unique methods\, tools and tactics to engage in meaningful ways. \n\n\n\nWhat Makes Engagement Meaningful?\n\n\n\nWhat does good engagement actually look like? \n\n\n\nNot just busy meetings or well-crafted surveys — but honest conversations that build trust\, elevate diverse voices\, and influence real decisions. \n\n\n\nThat question sits at the heart of this program. \n\n\n\nThis certificate helps you move beyond participation as a checkbox and toward engagement that is purposeful\, inclusive\, and impactful. \n\n\n\nCOURSE 1: FUNDAMENTALS OF P2/ENGAGEMENT (1 Day) – April 13\n\n\n\nFundamentals of P2/Engagement is the starting point for anyone on IAP2’s Global Learning Pathway. Whether you’re stepping into engagement work for the first time or looking to strengthen your practice\, this course gives you the foundation to do engagement with purpose — and with impact. It focuses on understanding and applying the practices meaningful and effective engagement\, and what participants need to know to do this well. \n\n\n\nYou’ll explore the heart of public engagement: the values\, the principles\, and the practical tools that help build trust and create space for voices that need to be heard. You’ll learn the language of engagement — what makes it unique\, what makes it meaningful — and how to navigate the complex realities that come with doing this work well. \n\n\n\nThis course isn’t just about learning frameworks — it’s about building a mindset. One that helps you understand where influence lives\, where participation grows\, and where your leadership can make a difference. \n\n\n\nIf you want to do engagement that matters — this is where to begin. \n\n\n\nCOURSE 2: DESIGNING P2/ENGAGEMENT (2 Days) – April 14 & 15\n\n\n\nPrerequisite – IAP2’s Fundamentals in Engagement \n\n\n\nGood Engagement Doesn’t Happen by Accident — It’s Designed.\n\n\n\nThere’s a moment in every engagement process where you pause and ask: Is this the right approach for this work\, this project\, this community? \n\n\n\nThat question — and everything it leads to — is the heart of this course. \n\n\n\nThis course introduces practitioners to the design and plan phases of the practice framework\, providing them with the opportunity to develop engagement plans. This includes scoping\, community mapping\, determining purpose and objectives and levels of influence\, choosing appropriate methods and managing resources\, while considering the needs of the diverse audiences. \n\n\n\nIt takes you deeper into the “how” of meaningful engagement. It’s where principles meet planning\, and where good intentions become thoughtful\, intentional action. Whether you’re designing a community consultation\, a city-wide strategy\, or an internal engagement with staff\, this course helps you build a plan that’s inclusive\, purposeful\, and ready for the real world. \n\n\n\nCOURSE 3: APPLYING METHODS (2 Days) – April 16 & 17\n\n\n\nPrerequisite – IAP2’s Fundamentals in Engagement \n\n\n\nYou’ve got a plan. Now what? Time to choose your methods. \n\n\n\nIt’s one thing to know why engagement matters. It’s another to pick the right tool and bring it to life. \n\n\n\nThat’s where Applying Methods comes in. \n\n\n\nThis course is for practitioners ready to roll up their sleeves — the facilitators\, coordinators\, and team members tasked with actually making engagement happen. If you’ve ever asked “Which method do I use?” or “How do I design this to work for everyone in the room?\,” this is your space to figure it out. \n\n\n\nYou’ll be introduced to a wide range of public engagement methods — from well-known practices to more structured approaches like Deliberative Dialogue\, Appreciative Inquiry\, and Open Space Technology. But more than that\, you’ll learn how to design and apply them well\, using tools\, templates\, and checklists you can bring into your own work. \n\n\n\nDate: April 13 – 17\, 2026Time: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.Cost: $2\,500.00Instructor: Dialogue PartnersLocation: Face to Face in Yellowknife – TBA \n\n\n\nParticipants who complete all three courses will receive a Certificate in Public Participation (P2).
