GSETA Institute Training on Sharpening Your Listening Skills Set for October 7 & 8

The GSETA Institute will be sponsoring training sessions on improving your communication style by sharpening your listening skills in October. Here's a description of the training:

Have you ever noticed how good it feels when someone really listens to you? When we're listened to, our feelings and needs are taken into account, we're more relaxed and open, and we feel we can achieve our objectives. Learn how you can get these kinds of results when communicating with others. This workshop will provide you with the key to clear communication through developing an understanding of effective listening techniques. You will be introduced to the Personal Listening Learning Model, resulting in improved communications, fewer misunderstandings, and more productive information sharing between team members. You will discover the five different approaches to listening and understand why most people depend on their natural listening approaches.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the importance of developing good listening skills by reflecting on their past learning experiences.
• Discover the five different listening approaches used in communication and the specific characteristics of each approach.
• Discover that most people use their most natural listening approach. 
• Explore strengths and challenges as listeners
• Identify effective listening approaches and behaviors and practice modifying their listening approaches to meet the communication needs of team members.

This training will be offered once in each of the Northern/Central and Southern tiers of New Jersey. It will be taught by Roy Davis, president and founder of Davis Success Solutions.

GSETA Training on Increasing TANF Participation Rates April 21 and 22

Meeting federal participation rates for TANF programs is critical yet it has been a difficult measure to meet.  Clients don't show for orientation sessions, they don't do their designated hours; they aren't motivated to partake in the services offered.  There are many facets of meeting participation rates.  This session will provide strategies for building and maintaining the motivation of the clients to want the services.  You will get strategies on designing a motivational orientation, how to design low hour protocols, how to maintain motivation, and how to increase participation.

Who Should Attend?
This session is designed for workforce, social service and sub-contractor managers, supervisors, case managers, and other front line staff.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this session participants will be able to:



• Identify a theme to use within the program to motivate clients

• Design a motivational orientation

• Create an effective low hours protocol

• Build a motivational recognition and incentive system to maintain motivation
