Training Leaders At Seton Hall University


Information about the training....

This intensive 3 day course teaches people how to lead two highly effective programs: the NCBI Welcoming Diversity Workshop (1 day) and the NCBI Controversial Issue Process (2 hrs).
Participants receive individual coaching in leading each part of both programs.
In the Welcoming Diversity Workshop, participants do a series of activities, empowering individuals of all ages and backgrounds to take leadership in building inclusive communities.
The NCBI Controversial Issue Process helps individuals and groups to move hotly contested issues forward by teaching how to listen first to the heartfelt concerns on all sides and then to reframe the debate in a way that builds bridges.

NCBI’s approach of combining emotional healing work with practical skill training enables participants to learn quickly in a safe environment that values individual initiative.
NCBI’s seasoned training teams-- representing a wide variety of backgrounds--coupled with the diversity of the participants in the seminar, provide a valuable resource that helps people understand how they are both alike and different.

We will go over the question about the utilization of NCBI model outside of the One Day Workshops. We will inform you about the Leadership Team at SHU, Conference and Constituency work on a National Level and Welcome Week participation.

You do not need to bring anything else besides your enthusiasm and open mind

And all you need to do to pre-qualify for this training is:
Participate on our One Day Welcoming Diversity programs offered on monthly basis.

I have a few classes on Friday, what should I do?
We cannot excuse you from class work, we also know that the main reason why you are here is because of your studies.
If you really want to go through the training and are willing to make a difference in this school, the Dean of Students and Community Development, will provide you with a letter that confirms your attendance for the 3 day Training. You still need to speak with your professor about the absence prior to the training and meet his/her expectations for missed class time.

I don't know if I can get the day off from my unit/department to do the training, what should I do?
Our school is committed to diversity, and we want active members in our community. Our program has proven to be one of the most important training venues that SHU offers. We suggest you speak with your supervisor about your interest in this program. Many SHU staff/administrators are involved in this program and have been given the time needed to go through the training and be active during Welcome Week and other programs throughout the year. Let us know if we can help you in this.

How do I sign up?
Write to ncbi@shu.edu indicating your interest in taking part of the training.

Statement

When I went to my freshman convocation, I did not know what to expect.  My PA then told me that our group would be participating in a diversity workshop.  I thought to myself" Oh my gosh, we are gonna hold hands and sing songs or something."  Little did I know those three hours would open up a new opportunity that I would never forget.  The one day workshop enlightened me even more.  I was able to use some techniques in my everyday life, including my own family.  It allowed me to get people around me talking about diversity and race, social class and other taboo subjects people shy away from.  However, the weekend workshop was the greatest.  The conflict resolution techniques helped greatly with my new job.  I worked in a sporting goods store with many males who didn't like the idea of a woman being in charge.  Using the skills I learned from NCBI, I was able to touch many people and get them thinking about their own actions and how they affect other people.  Yay for NCBI
