About the Event
This workshop introduces ten key skills to help us talk and relate by mapping out the keywords and phrases of our discussions on paper. Â This live, mutual and reflective process helps us see what we are saying, shape what we want to say and reflect on how the conversation is going. Â Â Â
 The ten key skills of talking with a map are:Â
1. Â Â Setting up the time and place to talk Â
2. Â Â Spontaneously tracking the conversation to help make a listening relationship Â
3. Â Â Finding our own words for feelings, ideas, roles and relationships
4. Â Â Shimmering between feelings with the help of words on paper between us
5. Â Â Hovering in among contrasting ideas and beliefs and their importance for self and othersÂ
6. Â Â Noticing, naming and negotiating what is here and now between us
7. Â Â Taking turns in participating or observing: working side by side and not going head to headÂ
8. Â Â Writing short letters to discover and give voice to new points of view and ways of feelingÂ
9. Â Â Zoom in and out of big picture and detail; or between this and that part of the story or conversation
10. Mapping out positions and patterns from conversations to tell and retell the stories that show who we are.
Â
This half-day introductory workshop is for anyone whose work involves individual or group reflection and would like to ctest out a method for improving their conversational skills. The workshop is led by Steve Potter who is a Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapist, teacher and supervisor and had been teaching the skills and ideas of 'talking with a map' to many teams and individuals in the UK and internationally for the past twenty years. The approach is an application of some of the concepts and tools of Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Â It also draws on lessons from relational psychotherapies and creative writing. Â A workbook of handouts and pre-reading is sent to participants two weeks prior to the workshop and the book Talking with a Map is available to purchase with a discount code after the workshop. Â Follow up small group supervision is available in some cases.Â
