Interdepartmental co-development group

Looking for a practice-based development activity? Feeling isolated and want to connect with your peers? Do you want to develop your leadership skills? Feeling like you’re at an impasse with a professional situation? Are you wondering how to have a difficult conversation? Would you like to improve your communication skills (active listening and giving feedback)? Join an interdepartmental co-development group, in English or French, led by a manager-coach.

What is a codevelopment group? A group of people who help each other in their respective development. A training approach that allows people to learn from each other in order to improve and consolidate their management practices. A structured consultation exercise that focuses on real situations. Members take turns acting as clients, presenting a real situation, and as consultants, helping the client to enrich their understanding and capacity for action. Consultants are encouraged to ask questions rather than suggest explanations and solutions. Participants are encouraged to complete a personal diary to identify and document what they have learned in each session, and thus achieve long-term change. Facilitated by a facilitator (trained to manage the consultation process). With a commitment to continuity, attendance, confidentiality and adherence to agreed rules.
