Birds of a Feather sessions bring people struggling with similar issues together to network, learn from each other and overcome isolation. Each session will focus on a different topic but all sessions will be facilitated networking where participants talk with others and share their perspective; and an opportunity for small group discussions. Birds of a Feather sessions are either “Group Therapy” focused on common challenges or “So you’re working on” focused on common elements of work.
Group Therapy: Haters Gonna Hate or Overcoming Human Obstacles
FACILITATOR: Dan Willis, USDS
DESCRIPTION: When you’re trying to do things differently, you often run into people who simply will not budge. Maybe they’re afraid of change. Maybe they’re worried about failure. Likely it's keeping you from feeling like you can get anything done. This is one of the realities of the work: it’s hard and it can be frustrating. Come talk to others experiencing human obstacles, and share and learn how others have handled these situations so you can borrow what works and walk away with a few new ideas to try
