Elders Talk Climate: Effective Communication for Guiding Elders

Particularly at this time of urgent and intersecting crises, the need for wise and caring elders has never been greater. The SPEC Elders Circle offers support and training in Claiming Our Role as Elders (CORE) and is launching a project designed for elders who participate, or wish to participate, in organizations as a Guiding Elder.

Module one, Elders Talk Climate, will be hosted virtually on December 1st and 8th at 10:00am-12:00pm and will discuss effective communication theories and strategies using an elder perspective.

About Legacy-making for Organizational Guiding Elders

This free online multi-session program is provided to registered participants. Participating in virtual workshops, elders will come away with the groundwork for participating in organizations as a Guiding Elder.

We are currently piloting 4-modules of our Legacy-making for Organizational Guiding Elders program which will run on Tuesdays from December to March.

Through workshops, group discussions, and guided reflective self-assessment, participants will:

• Develop Guiding Elder knowledge and skills
• Better understand how to use your knowledge and skills to contribute meaningfully to an organization
• Develop an understanding of organizational behaviour
• Learn to communicate your wisdom effectively while fine-tuning your ability to understand others
• Experience youth and Indigenous panel discussions
