PROFESSIONAL TRAINING: Bridges Out of Poverty Workshop

Christian Women�s Job Corps of Madison County, AL is pleased to offer a one-day workshop on August 17, 2007 to professionals who work with those in poverty. Authentic communication requires people to speak the same language. If your work day involves communicating with people caught in the cycle of generational poverty, do you really know what they are telling you when they answer your questions?  Do they know what you want to know from them? Genuine change can happen with people when they are able truly to communicate with the people in the places they want to go. BRIDGES OUT OF POVERTY workshop will teach you new skills to be able to increase your listening, thinking, and speaking skills.  Then you are better equipped as you help teach and understand the people you are helping to reach a higher level of their potential than their circumstances might allow.
