  Anger Management. How To Identify and Manage Personal Anger with Niki Tudge  

  
  

  This is a  great program if you work with clients, peers or have associates. We all experience anger and those who can manage it are better able to practice non-violent communication and engage and educate others.
  

  
  

  Join Niki Tudge for this 90 minute  webinar on Anger Management.

  Benjamin Franklin once said, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” We would like to add a third item to his list: anger. Anger can be an incredibly damaging force, costing people their jobs, personal relationships, and even their lives when it gets out of hand. However, since everyone experiences anger, it is important to have constructive approaches to manage it effectively. 

  This workshop will help teach participants how to identify their anger triggers and what to do when their angry.

  By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Understand anger dynamics in terms of the anger cycle and the fight or flight theory.
  • Know common anger myths and their factual refutations.
  • Know the helpful and unhelpful ways of dealing with anger.
  • Know techniques in controlling anger, particular reading anger warning signs, using coping thoughts, exercising relaxation techniques and blowing off steam.
  • Understand the difference between objective and subjective language.
  • Know tips in identifying the problem.
  • Express a feeling or position using I-messages.
  • Know skills and techniques in making a disagreement constructive, including effective negotiation and solution-building.
  • Reflect on one’s hot buttons and personal anger dynamics.
  • Know alter, avoid and, accept ways of responding to an anger-provoking situation.
  • Understand the energy curve and how it can help in responding to someone else’s anger.

  Words from the Wise

  Here are a few thoughts that we would like you to think about
  

  • Harvey MacKay: Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it, you can never get it back.
  • Napoleon Bonaparte: Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go.
  • Steve Jobs: Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
  • Benjamin Franklin: You may delay, but time will not.

  The most recent definition of Motivational Interviewing is

  “a  collaborative,  person centered  form  of  guiding  to  elicit  and  strengthen  motivation  for  change”

  As dog trainers, we need competence not only in the field of dog behavior change, but also human behavior change. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based set of techniques to facilitate compliance and behavior change in clients. Designed for brief interventions and applied over a wide range of disciplines from health care to smoking cessation, Motivating Interviews can help trainers resolve more behavior cases and create more effective consultations with their clients.

  Learning Objectives

  •     Develop less client resistance.
  •     Ensure more  successful case resolutions.
  •     Helps reduce trainer  burnout.
  •     Learn road-maps and scripts to help effectively coach difficult clients.

  There is no limit to the joy in giving to animals. SO then why do we often feel overwhelmed and depleted while doing the work we love? Passion and purpose drive us so we often take on too much and become exhausted and depleted. We block the peaceful contentment in our lives. When we restore the joy in our life-enhancing and life-saving work, we balance our own needs with the desires we have to give, we deeply connect with the animals and with each other, and we reclaim the powerful, contagious energy needed to reach our shared vision of a kinder world for animals and for all living beings. 

  Whether you have been involved with animals all of your life, or are just starting your purposeful work, this webinar will help you face the challenges and find the joy! It is designed for anyone with love and compassion for animals.

  
  

  Webinar Objectives

  • To understand the importance of joy in our work with the animals
  • To understand the challenges that animal lovers face that can led to depletion and exhaustion and blocks the joy.
  • To understand the personality characteristics unique to the animal lover
  • Learn strategies to balance our own needs with our desire to give to animals
  • To understand the importance of daily self-care in maintaining joy and effectiveness in the work we do.
  • Understand how the contagious, self-perpetuating and powerful energy of joy is needed to help more animals.
  • Learn specific and practical ways to take care of ourselves every day.
  • Learn the individual and organizational signs of stressed-out giving, burnout and compassion fatigue

  Are we as force-free with our clients and our colleagues as we are with the animals in our care? Our behavior-consulting work often takes place amidst emotionally charged situations. The stakes can be high and our clients can be upset, argumentative and unpleasant. Additionally, these same characteristics can describe our colleagues as well at times. And so, when dealing with disagreeable people, can we apply our core skills of careful observation, non-reactivity, gradual shaping and timely reinforcement of alternate behaviors? Let’s consider if we are willing to extend our ethic of non-violence to include our interactions with people as well as pets, and if so, what practical changes we could make to support this.

  Have you ever felt angry, irritable or sad because of the work that you do?  Have you ever questioned whether it’s all worthwhile? Or do you feel completely satisfied by your work yet emotionally and physically exhausted by it at the same time? You might be experiencing the signs of compassion fatigue. (secondary trauma and burnout).

  Animal care professionals may be particularly at risk because of their dual role of caring for both animals and their owners. Stressful interactions with the public, exposure to trauma and coping with the loss of animals through accidents, illness or euthanasia all contribute to compassion fatigue.

  This seminar is intended to help individuals recognize the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and identify evidence based strategies to prevent and manage the condition.

  Objectives

  • Recognize the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue 
    
  • Learn evidence based tools to manage and prevent compassion fatigue

  About The Presenter

  
  

  
  

  Dr. Vanessa Rohlf is a consultant and educator specializing in compassion fatigue and stress management within the animal industry, dedicated to helping animal care professionals and organizations manage and overcome stress and physical and mental exhaustion.

  Dr. Rohlf’s formal qualifications, a PhD with a specialization in psychology and a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree in psychology, combined with her work experience as a veterinary nurse and animal welfare researcher, has helped her fine tune her knowledge and skills in developing ways to support those who dedicate their lives to animals in need.

  Dr. Rohlf is an experienced lecturer and public speaker. She has lectured and tutored for over 7 years and has presented her research at international and national conferences.

  Companion animals occupy an important role in our lives. They are our friends, our confidants and cherished members of the family. They provide unconditional love and support. They never judge and are always happy to see us when we come home. It's no surprise then that the death of a companion animal can be just as profound and devastating as the loss of a human significant other.

  Animal care professionals and trainers are in the privileged position of working with these special animals and, while this can be an extremely rewarding role, it can also mean that professionals are also exposed to grief and loss when these animals die.

  This seminar is designed to give trainers and animal care professionals information on current theories and findings relevant to animal bereavement. Attendees will also be offered practical tools for self-care and strategies to support clients, friends and family members who may be experiencing companion animal bereavement.

  In this webinar attendees will:

  1. Appreciate the significance of animal bereavement

  2. Be able to describe common grief reactions

  3. Recognize types of grief including disenfranchised, anticipatory and complicated grief

  4. Learn strategies for self-care and ways of coping

  5. Learn how to support others through grief
