Soft-skills like active listening, communicating, leading effectively, and conflict resolution are increasingly in demand today, though all too often they are taught in a didactic manner that is difficult to integrate directly into personal and professional practice.  In marked contrast, the Rogerian Person-Centered Approach (PCA) stresses a ‘way of being’ over a ‘way of doing’.In this one-day practical training workshop, participants will take a deep dive into the theory and practice of the Person-Centered approach, with ample opportunity to directly explore the personal and professional qualities that empower their professional practice. Learning Objectives: Learn Person-Centered theory and practice Apply the principles of PCA to their professional practice Identify individual strengths and professional working styles Distinguish sympathy from empathy Maintain innate authenticity and presence with clients Participate in moderated group work and observation Speakers: Elvira Medus, LCSW Mark Rodgers, MSc Gerti Schoen, LP, MA Learn More
