Learn Innovative Concepts and Techniques to Create the Counseling Environment that will Provide Your Clients with an Incentive to Change while Allowing You More Flexibility and Freedom |
|
If you’re like me, you often find yourself going over the same issues with the same people without a lot of change. People seem to understand what the problem is but they don’t seem to be making the forward progress you’d like to see them make. You have managed care companies breathing down your neck for cures in one session or less, it seems. And your academic training taught you a little about a lot of different theories preparing you for an eclectic therapeutic career. Clients’ problems seem to be more complex and you spend more time doing paperwork than working face-to-face with people. |

Stop trusting in time, hard work or good intentions to get through to those resistant clients. Become an expert in the modality that is considered a “brief therapy” and has been proven effective with some of the toughest clients. Reality Therapy is often used in jails, prisons, foster care agencies and other non-voluntary settings with positive results. Check it out! When I went to college and later graduate school, I learned a lot of things. I studied a little of this and a little of that and was told to take an “eclectic” approach. I’m still not exactly sure I knew what that meant. It felt a lot like “flying by the seat of my pants!” I tried some things that worked; I tried other things that didn’t. Then, in 1987, I was introduced to the concepts developed by Dr. William Glasser, Reality Therapy and Choice Theory®. Finally, I had a road map, a model for how to proceed with the people I was attempting to help. When I felt lost, I had a framework to revisit and get myself, and consequently, my client back on track. Using Reality Therapy doesn't mean you can't use all the wonderful things you are using now -- it just provides you with a theory that conceputalizes the problem and a counseling method that puts the responsibility for change where it belongs -- with your clients. I loved reality therapy and Choice Theory® so much that I became an instructor myself in 1993 so I could teach these ideas to anyone else who wanted to develop the expertise. Over the years, I have taught thousands of helping professionals just like you. Some came to the training because they wanted to get the information; others came because they worked for a company who made the training mandatory. Whatever the original circumstances, most left my workshop very pleased they had attended, with a new outlook on their practice and a positive attitude for implementation. One of the things I like best about Choice Theory® is its wide-spread application—you can use it in your personal, as well as your professional life. It provides transferable skills for everyday life. Choice Theory® helped me to become a better supervisor, counselor, mother, life partner, friend and a better all around person. When you truly embrace its teachings, Choice Theory® becomes a way of life instead of a hypothetical theory of human behavior. Over the years, I have taught hundreds of leaders and supervisors just like you. Some came to the training because they wanted to get the information; others came because they worked for a company who made the training mandatory. Whatever the original circumstances, most left my workshop very pleased they had attended, with a new outlook on their methods and a positive attitude for implementation. |

This is no ordinary workshop where you sit behind a table while you listen to someone speak all day for a week. This training is highly interactive, allowing all participants the opportunity to learn the information in whatever mode they learn best. There will be opportunities for kinesthetic, visual and auditory learners alike. You will learn from each other’s experiences, as well as from the instructor. There will be opportunity to practice the new skills you learn. This will not simply be theoretical professional development. You will utilize Choice Theory® to guide your reality therapy practice. You will use the four questions to promote change. You will have the opportunity to role play your client(s) to possibly see the situation from a different angle. You will help others evaluate the effectiveness of their choices. You will practice giving feedback by facilitating the other person’s self-evaluation. |

Organizational Leaders Encouraging Choice Theory®/Reality Therapy training for your employees is a benefit that reaps tremendous rewards. Here are just some of the advantages: Research has shown that good training programs are a big factor in encouraging employee retention. Your staff will learn a common language which will enhance communication. Your staff will learn an effective way to conceptualize problems and thus will be approaching problem-solving with a similar model. Your staff will have a model that works particularly well with a non-voluntary client population. You can set your program off from the rest by providing your staff with Reality Therapy Certification, a credential that shows your investment in your human resources, not only to your employees but also to outside people. Choice Theory® provides individuals with tools for use in their personal, as well as professional life. When your staff is managing their personal lives better, they will be better able to thrive on the job. Choice Theory® is highly empowering for clients as well as helpers, which can be instrumental in reducing helper stress and burnout. Choice Theory® helps people move from a victim mode to that of empowerment.
As far as training programs go, training in Choice Theory®/Reality Therapy is relatively inexpensive. If you send individual employees to a week of training, the cost is $500 per person. If you have more than ten (10) employees you want to receive the training, then it would be more cost effective to hire me to come to your agency where I can train sixteen (16) individuals for $6000 without them incurring any travel expenses. If you are interested in on-site staff development, please contact me at 708-957-6047 or email me at kim@coachingforexcellence.biz for special pricing. What about those individuals who won’t get on board? Every agency has those people who refuse to look at doing things differently. They are the ones who are either terrified of change, are sure their methods are the only ones that truly work or are simply oppositional to any new ideas that are introduced. When we begin to teach Glasser’s ideas to an entire program or agency, we like to start at the top with either the CEO, Executive Director or Program Director and then proceed with any other individuals who are interested in learning the concepts, ideas and techniques. What then begins to happen is that other staff start to notice the success that their colleagues are experiencing and many will become curious as to what’s making the difference. Those who are still resistant will remain resistant but there will be so few of them that their presence will be inconsequential. Some may even leave your agency because they won’t be able to tolerate the pressure to get on board. This will be an internal pressure as well as a pressure from the other employees, not necessarily from management. Helpers Naturally, widespread implementation of the Choice Theory®/Reality Therapy treatment approach is greatly exciting—the thought of an entire agency or program immersing itself in one philosophy for the betterment of all. However, it is possible for you to make a difference with your individual caseload, even if you are the only one in your agency using the concepts. This training will help you gain the confidence you seek on a daily basis. It will give you a model to explain all human behavior and a direction for how to proceed with your clients or consumers. I offer this week of training in two possible formats. It is either offered as a one-week, four to five consecutive days of training totaling a minimum of 27 hours or it can be offered two-days one week and two days within two weeks of the first days of training for a minimum of 30 hours of training. |
