Body Language, NLP and residential Youth Work.
I’m Michael Dawson, and welcome to another episode of the Action Factory podcast where we are deep into the free audio course, “Neurolinguistic Programming in Residential Youth Work”.
For ten weeks, we will be breaking down NLP tools and examining ways of incorporating them into your daily work. I call them 'commutable chunks' because each episode can be listened to on the bus and practiced at work. This week, we delve into the transformative world of youth work through the power of body language.
I'll discuss the SMILE Toolkit, which I developed as a body language hack. It's become my secret weapon in revolutionizing how I approach residential work, and I’m excited to share its potential with you. Youth work is no longer just about counseling and guidance. It's about truly understanding and connecting with the young individuals we work with. It's about decoding the unspoken, understanding their silent cries, their hidden joys, their unexpressed fears, and so much more.
This podcast is your guide to understanding neurolinguistic programming, a key tool in reshaping youth work. Join me as I dive into the world of non-verbal communication, uncovering how small shifts in body language can make a significant impact. We'll explore practical applications of the SMILE Toolkit in a residential setting, revealing how you can harness this potent tool to revolutionize your work with youth. I'll be sharing valuable insights and tips, and discussing real-life examples and cases.
Moreover, I'll be offering this free training to help you master the nuances of body language and neurolinguistic programming. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting in the youth work sector, this podcast will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to foster a deeper connection with the young people you work with and truly make a difference in their lives.
So, join me in the greatest job in the world, as we revolutionize youth work, one gesture at a time.
