Elections can significantly impact our work and the issues we are passionate about at both REDF and the ESE field. To help shape and navigate the outcome, here are resources to support your ESE and staff during the election season.
Stage: Manage a Social Enterprise
Attendees will learn about the core principles of TIC, understand its relevance in ESE settings, and explore practical strategies for integrating TIC into their work. The goal is to equip attendees with foundational knowledge of TIC to enhance their ability to support individuals who have experienced trauma, fostering more supportive and effective work environments.
Attendees will explore how understanding and applying TIC principles can transform their approach to managing conflict, particularly when working with individuals who have experienced trauma. By recognizing the signs of trauma and responding with empathy, participants will learn how to prevent escalation and foster a sense of safety and trust in high-stress situations.
Throughout Hopeworks’ two sessions, they detail the difference between becoming a “trauma-aware” organization (one that does the same things it always did but uses the language of trauma to describe it in new ways) and an actually trauma-informed organization (one in which outcomes and performance are radically different from using trauma informed tools).
In this session, the REDF Accelerator team will share a core, and evergreen, section of their curriculum — Radical Candor. Attendees in this workshop will leave with an understanding of and the chance to practice how it feels to combine two approaches: caring about the person and challenging issues directly, the ingredients for effective Radical Candor.
Dave Viotti, Founder and CEO of SMALLIFY, and a long-time friend of the REDF Community, will lead us through a highly engaging session focused on developing stronger connections to peers and colleagues via more effective communications and conflict styles.
A primary focus of this session will be experimentation, so be ready to roll up your sleeves, make some mistakes, and try something new.
