Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center will offer a free Brown Bag Lunch Talk, “Brilliant Bystander Facilitation: How to Help in Group Situations,” presented by Kimberly Dark on Thursday, Jan. 19, 2017, from noon to 1 p.m. at the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney in Hilo.
Admission is free; walk-ins are welcome.
“Have a positive influence on the way things are done in a meeting or group even if you are not the ‘official’ facilitator,” said Dark. “By learning the skills of the ‘brilliant bystander,’ you can re-route conflict into useful discussion, restore fairness in power struggles, and encourage others to participate.”
In this talk, explore the reasons people stay silent even though they know someone needs to speak up… and how to help.
