In the last ten years the world of work particularly in the third sector has got crazy. Everyone wants more for less and quicker, better while funding is often cut. So how do we cope in this environment?
Rob Legge, an experienced 3rd Sector leader, has put this course together for BVSC to help managers and senior leaders in the region explore and use coaching for the benefit of the organisations they lead.
The workshop will be highly interactive and fun
It will include:
The three circles of leadership
What coaching is (and isn’t)
The GROW model of coaching
When and how to use coaching
Practice coaching
Action planning
Questions and answers
By the end of this workshop you will have a good understanding of coaching and how it can be used to improve your team’s success. It will also give you opportunities to increase your own and your colleagues productivity. The workshop will be practical and ensure that participants “have a go” and learn from each other.
The trainer is Rob Legge. Rob has over 20 years experience in the third sector as a senior manager, Director and CEO in national organisations such as RNIB, Oxfam, Sense as well as 10 years as CEO of Focus Birmingham. His workshops are engaging, pragmatic and fun.

Spirit Possession & Mental Health
Date

Location
:
Manchester
Spirit possession is recognised worldwide across many cultures and by several religions. Spirit possession is often seen as an idiom of distress causing a change in behaviour and mental well being. Spirit possession is also included in the ICD 10 and DSM IV classifications of mental disorders, yet the extent to which it is recognised and / or discussed in clinical practice is less than we would expect, even in UK cities where there resides a diverse population.
This one day event will consider the critical themes and debates on spirit possession from an anthropological, social, psychological, medical and religious perspective using a range of illustrative case study, clinical practice and research.
THE AIMS OF THE CONFERENCE
•Discuss possible definitions and different kinds of spirit possession
•Debate the key elements which typify spirit possession
•Discuss who can make a diagnosis of spirit possession and how such a diagnosis might be made
•Compare and contrast how spirit possession might be viewed by clinicians, religious leaders, healers, the "the patient", family and community members
•Discuss the value of using patient's explanatory model of illness
•Reflect upon the key issues associated with defining what is "normal" and "abnormal"
•Discuss folk healing practices in different cultures and "treatment" options including exorcism
•Consider whether there is a need to enhance joint working between mental health professionals and transitional healers.
