Stronger Together

1/18/2025

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with the incredible staff at Edward Gartland Youth Center during my workshop, Stronger Together - Tools for Collaboration and Connection. This session focused on essential soft skills—teamwork, conflict resolution, and effective communication—that are critical for youth workers to succeed in their vital roles.

At the heart of the workshop was the principle of self-reflection: understanding our own strengths and challenges before supporting others. By looking inward, we can create a more supportive and harmonious team environment, which ultimately empowers not only ourselves but also the organizations and communities we serve.

Together, we explored practical tools to navigate conflicts constructively, communicate with clarity and empathy, and build trust within teams. It was inspiring to see the participants engage so fully, reflecting on their roles and leaving with actionable strategies to strengthen collaboration.
