Interactive Multimedia Presentations:
Introducing New Knowledge and Perspectives about Challenging Issues
We live in increasingly complex local, national and global societies. Nurture LLC’s presentations help audiences develop and/or deepen their
Knowledge and historical understanding about their own social groups and those with whom they interact
Awareness and understanding of the lived experiences of individuals raised in families and societies different from their own
Desire and ability to take first steps toward building healthy relationships, managing conflicts, and innovating solutions with a variety of individuals and social groups
Our presentations include Resource Lists for Further Learning that contain online articles, books, films, and graphs curated to support your journey.
Deep Dive Dialogue Series:
Advancing the Capacity to Create and Maintain Healthy Groups and Workplaces
These workshop series are custom-tailored to the kinds of challenges faced by a group or organization. Each session focuses on one or two relevant topics through a combination of short educational multimedia presentations, experiential activities, and Nurture LLC’s unique Caring Circle™ process of expertly facilitated small-group reflection and sharing. These Deep Dive Dialogues build relationship, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and conflict-management skills. They can also promote the shared sense of mission and “fitting in” that can be especially challenging to create and maintain in large organizations.
Participant Responses
Our programs include participant evaluation and feedback. We ask, for example: “What is the most important new awareness, idea, fact, or feeling you are taking away from this session?” Examples of typical responses are:
“Think outside the box. Exercise empathy. Treat everyone with respect and as a unique individual.”
“I really enjoy listening and getting so much better at it! I love learning about others and am learning more about myself as a result.”
“Helped me connect with colleagues that I would not otherwise have an opportunity to have a meaningful discussion with”
“There are other co-workers that see the urgency and need for change. I feel less ‘alone’ in the endeavor and begin to see it happening.”
“The caring circle was wonderful, magical.”
