CHICAGO - Want to increase trust and authenticity in conversations? Join the Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) at the for the institute:



Participants will learn:

• Key concepts from neuroscience research about how the brain determines whether there is trust and safety, or distrust and shut down.
• Explore three levels of conversation, and how to quickly move from levels 1 and 2 (transactional and power seeking) to level 3 (co-creation).
• Identify new strategies for increasing trust and authenticity in leadership development, partnerships, coaching, mentoring, and professional development.

Opportunities for Linkage and Application

This session will help participants assess which of 3 levels their conversations have been and what the results are, and learn new strategies for getting to level 3 conversations. This level is where transformational conversations happen, which are necessary for change, growth, innovation, and quality improvement. Participants will plan how to incorporate the new strategies into their work at the end of the session.

The format of the session will include multiple adult learning strategies, so participants have time and a structured process to reflect on new information, make connections with existing knowledge, and develop ways to try new approaches based on the new learning. I use small group and pairs discussions, reading and reflecting, gallery walks, and a tool for participants to reflect on what they have learned and make a plan to try something new. The session will be very engaging and interactive.
