Upcoming WWFF Events
The Will Work For Food programs are presented primarily by and for attorneys, mediators and arbitrators. Each Thursday at 8am Pacific an amazing colleague joins us to give a webinar presentation about a timely topic. These programs are free. You can join us for all or one. We don’t ask you to pay for these invaluable webinars, instead we hope that you’ll make a donation of any size to your local food bank.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
We’re frequently asked if Continuing Education Credits/Units are available. Will Work For Food’s “The New Possibilities Hour” presentations are not pre-approved for CE. However, if you’d like a Certificate of Attendance to self-submit an application to your chosen licensing organization, please email Natalie with your request at Natalie@WillWorkForFood.news with your complete name as well as the name and date of the program you attended.
Does Practice Make Perfect: Benefits of Reflective Practice
The common phrase, practice makes perfect, suggests that experience determines competence. Experience alone does not produce competence. Repetition leads to acting on auto pilot. Mastery is achieved when we use our experiences as learning opportunities.
Most of us work in a bubble. With notable exceptions, we seldom solicit, or receive, feedback. As a result, we have little if any basis for understanding whether and why our efforts were effective and responsive.
There are limited opportunities for collegial support and input. Most of us are solitary beasts, prowling the savannahs of conflict, not part of a pack (or practice group).
Professional development sessions are communal learning experiences where the objectives are: learning about new skills and strategies, or gaining knowledge about theory or research. There are limited opportunities to gain feedback on the use of new techniques or to test our understanding of the ideas presented.
In this webinar, participants will learn the practical, real-world benefits of reflective practice, and how they help improve competence, effectiveness and efficiency.
