THIS IS A REPLAY OF EPISODE #73 The Psych Health and Safety in Canada Podcast will be returning late January 2024! In this episode, host Kim MacDonald talks with guest Charmaine Hammond about her work with companies and organizations following traumatic events that change a community in unimaginable ways. When a natural disaster or disaster of human making happens, company leaders, employees, families, and friends find themselves under enormous emotional, psychological, physical, and financial stress. Finding a way back to normal and managing the impact of external factors on the workplace climate, working conditions, and mental health of employees, is a challenge many organizations are not ready to manage. Using the wildfires in Fort McMurray as a case study Charmaine will talk about the kinds of shifts that are needed in these circumstances, the psychological health and safety environment and risk factors that were impacted, and what organizations need to do to prepare when being trauma-informed becomes central to the daily operations. She will also share some of the best actions companies took and how they impacted mental health in the workplace and the company's role in managing during and in the years following the event. Here is a link to the incredible animated short that aims to raise awareness about mental health, through the eyes of woodland creatures coming back home after the Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo wildfires, released in July 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJD64fAEQnU

Craving connection at work? According to our most recent guest, Charmaine Hammond, personal connection is critical to mental health and the overall health of a business. Listen in to learn some best practices for increasing opportunities for meaningful connection among in-office, remote, and hybrid workers alike.   TAKEAWAYS Workplace conflict increases as employees navigate frequent change and uncertainty. With the rise of remote work, teams are missing impromptu or informal connection in the workplace. Informal connection is critical to workplace culture and team elements like building trust and maintaining relationships. When employees can see only names and black squares in a Zoom meeting, assumptions and miscommunications abound. Even though we're connected virtually through different platforms and tools, many say that the quality of that connection is not as meaningful. Meeting norms, courtesies, or rules of engagement help employees know how to “show up” to business meetings. A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST

Do you resolve or avoid conflict? Avoiding conflict may be easier to maintain relationships, but it can slowly destroy them. Somebody once said that conflict is not like wine – it doesn't get better with age. Dealing with conflict can be stressful, and that's normal. Attacking a problem doesn't mean you are attacking the other person. It just means that you have to focus on the issue or conflict itself and resolve it instead of blaming the other person or making wrong assumptions. Avoiding conflict is not the solution; it is the beginning of a lasting rift in every relationship. In this podcast, Charmaine Hammond and I will discuss why conflict exists and how to resolve it. Charmaine has a wonderful 5-step model in resolving conflicts that I'm sure will help you and your relationships be better. What you'll Learn on Episode 104: Why is it wrong to avoid conflict? How to focus on the behavior or the problem and not the person How to improve your mindset towards conflict What is the correct behavior when dealing with conflict?

Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/CharmaineHammondSpeaker/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/charmainehammond https://twitter.com/hammondgroupbiz   https://www.instagram.com/charmaine_hammond After I left the jail system, I went back to school and became a mediator, and I was mediating conflicts in family, community and workplaces. [3:00] I fell in love with working for non-profit organizations, and then I ventured into working in mental health, where I worked in various capacities. [3:21] At one point, I even volunteered with my dog, a therapy dog, and we volunteered in a psychiatric hospital, and it was so powerful. [3:31] And all of these experiences led to what I do now, which is speaking, training and facilitating teams, groups, project committees, on how to collaborate better, work better together, remain resilient in changing times, and also how to resolve those tough issues that get in the way of success, conflict being one of them. [3:42] I get to work in these workplace environments and on projects where I get to tie in all of my skill sets and all of the things that, I believe, helped me shock other people's potential. [4:04] We also work with entrepreneurs, non-profits, and service clubs, to help them raise their dreams and fund their projects through collaboration. [4:22] One of the challenges that I had when I was preparing to leave the correctional system role as a correctional officer and move into a different career was that many of the ways we handled conflict don't work in other situations. [5:58] I went back to school and learned communication and conflict resolution. A lot of the training we had in corrections was related to crisis, not necessarily the negotiation part of working through a tough issue. [6:25] It taught me a lot about humility, being humble, the importance of respect, and how it can change everything when you show up at a tough time in someone's life. [6:43] All of these softer lessons led me to fall in love with a structured process to resolve conflict, which is why I went back to school to become a mediator. [6:54] My biggest learning was the power of listening to what is and is not being said. [7:14] So, when you hear people in conflict talking about what matters to them, what's driving their position, what their underlying interests are, the ability to resolve the issue is so much easier because you're getting to the core of what matters. [7:21] I realized that prior to that, I was always dealing with things on such a basic surface level, and you have to go deeper in conflict, and that is one of the reasons it is uncomfortable for both of us. [7:35] We need to look at resilience building, conflict resolution, communication and stress management, not as soft skills training but as essential skills. It is a softer approach to dealing with human issues, but they are essential skills. [9:25] Commercial Break. [10:43] These courageous dialogues don't happen because people don't know how to get the conversation going, so what happens is, it's avoided. [12:11] One of the things that I've learned is that as humans, we're typically pretty forgiving, where if you are providing feedback to someone and it doesn't land right, that is an opportunity to say I'm sorry and clarify your intentions. [12:35] I have learned that whatever these conversations are that require us to be courageous, it sets the stage for a much better conversation. [13:45] I feel like now more than ever, collaboration in the workplace is essential to help teams shock their potential. [16:19] Not everybody is naturally a collaborator. Many of us prefer to work independently or in a pair instead of a group. [16:57] In high performing teams, the ingredients that exist is a willingness to fix things in the moment but a willingness to disagree and realize that their perception is not the perception but simply a perception. [17:10] It is an opportunity actually to revisit communication and help people work better together and an opportunity to revisit trust. [17:49] We have to make sure that people understand how to collaborate effectively and have the tools and resources to do it. [18:03] Remember that proving somebody wrong doesn't make you right. Instead of trying to prove someone wrong, so you can be right, use that energy to bridge understanding and collaboration.

In this section, Sam discusses the nuances and benefits of letting go. After this short discussion, Sam gives a warm welcome to the first of his two guests this week, the executive film producer of Back Home Again, Charmaine Harmond. Sam asks why this film was so moving for Charmaine. Answering the question, she explains her personal connection to the Fort McMurray wildfires that the movie is based on. While she was not in Fort McMurray during the fires, she grew up there previously and returned during the recovery period. Continuing to elaborate, she talks about how much Fort McMurray means to her. Because she has such a strong love for her hometown and also a passion for having conversations about mental health, she feels lucky to have had this opportunity to work on the film Back Home Again.Segment 2Returning from the break, Sam asks Charmaine about why they chose to go with an animated film as opposed to a live action one. She explains that, oftentimes, looking at live images of a traumatic event can be retraumatizing, and that using animation instead can help negate this impact. Elaborating further on what the movie hopes to achieve, Charmaine describes Back Home Again as a family movie made to inspire conversations about mental health and coming together as a community. Charmaine talks about how important conversations don't start because people don't know how to talk about mental health or to access support. Hopefully, this movie can be a tool in starting these conversations. Back Home Again, Charmaine continues, is a movie that shares the stories of real people who experienced the fires and the fallout after them. Through the telling of these stories, Charmaine hopes to help people to understand the enormity of the tragedy. She also talks about how she hopes to shed light on how people can experience and process the same traumatic events differently.Segment3 After the second break, Sam welcomes the screenwriter and director of the film Back Home Again, Michael Mankowksi. Answering why he chose to work on this project, Michael explains that he, like Charmaine, has personal experience with the fires and also worked with Red Cross during the re-entry period following the wildfires. During the re-entry period, Michael talks about how he recorded over two hundred testimonials. However, he describes that he did not have control over the editing of these portrayals, and this led to a lot of frustration for him. He explains that he felt that the community and the experiences of the community were not accurately being portrayed. This inspired him to work on this project in hopes that he could accurately capture the community of Fort McMurray. Charmaine, Michael and Sam talk about how the vision was to create this movie as an educational resource for families, the classroom, or even the workplace. Ending this segment, they all discuss how lucky they are that they were able to attract such well-known actors to contribute to the project.Segment 4After the final break, Charmaine, Michael and Sam talk about some more goals behind creating Back Home Again. They discuss how they hope that this short will encourage people to stop talking about the fires themselves and instead focus on the rebuilding of the community. They also talk about how they worked closely with nineteen mental health professionals and psychologists throughout the process of creating the short and how helpful it was to have them as a resource. Next, they talk about when the film will be released. They are aiming for a broad release this fall, they explain, and have the world premier set for October 1st.

How can I close that sponsorship deal? This is the question that keeps many fundraisers and Executive Directors up at night. On today’s episode, Charmaine Hammond, partnership development expert at Raise a Dream, shares with us an easy-to-follow, 7-step framework for building long lasting partnerships.Myths that Charmaine wants us to leave behindYou have to shoehorn your nonprofit into a partnership. Have a discovery call with a potential partner and assess if there is an alignment before proceeding further. You don’t have to pursue a partner that has no value and impact alignment with your organization.If there is a problem with partnership deliverables, let’s not report the problem until the point of no return. Engage your partner early on with the problem and invite them to be part of the solution. Your partner is invested in the success of the partnership just as you are. Charmaine’s tips on building partnershipsListen for the full episode to get all of Charmaine's tips and the complete 7-step framework. Go beyond the obvious for partnership research. Try to see where your partners are speaking at, what social media engagement they are doing, and what campaigns they are involving themselves in. Let the partnerships/sponsors tell you what to include in a proposal. Ask them explicitly what would be helpful to include, what should not be included, who else will be involved in the decision making process and viewing the proposal etc. Continue to consistently engage your partners after the partnership is concluded. Get in touch with partners and see how they’re doing. Keep tabs on what initiatives they’re engaged in. Share program updates from your side. Keep in touch with them like your friends and the relationship will flow organically. Favourite Quotes from Today’s EpisodePost your favourite quote on social to share with us!“I don't want any surprises when potential partners read the proposal and contract I send over. So when a potential partner asks for a proposal, I say absolutely, I can put it together and ask these questions: what would you like me to send you? Who else is going to be looking at it just you? Okay. Oh, you've got to bring in some other team members, what will they want to see? How many pages? What do I not need to cover? What do I need to ensure is in there for you to take this forward and sell it?”“What I have learned is the earlier you bring a possible issue forward to a partner, the more support you get in the solution, because nobody at this point wants to see  failure. Everybody is committed to make the partnership successful. So, let people be part of the solution.”Resources from this Episode The Good PartnershipCharityVillageRaise a DreamConnect with Charmaine on Linkedin

Have you been experiencing conflict within your team? Do you want to avoid unnecessary conflict? Do you want to turn that wasted time with conflict into productive time instead?   Conflict happens and it's normal, but not facing it and prolonging the problem is bad and should be avoided. The time wasted with conflict could be turned into productive time that could furthermore strengthen relationships and build a better and strong foundation for your business.   Charmaine Hammond works with organizations and teams who want to effectively resolve conflict, build resilient teams, and work better together. She is a Certified Professional Speaker, Certified Virtual Presenter, and her business Hammond International Inc. is WBE Canada Certified (Supplier Diversity).   In this episode, Charmaine talks about the cons of prolonging the conflict, and how you can face and fix unnecessary conflicts. She also shares some tips and tricks on how to approach conflict without assuming.     What you will learn from this episode:   ● Learn how to avoid unnecessary conflict within your team ● Know more on how to handle and face conflict before it becomes a bigger problem ● Discover why conflicts are a waste of time and progress     “We make so many assumptions in conflict, and the large majority of them are wrong. We assign meaning to what somebody's nonverbal really meant, and it's usually wrong, and we assign meaning to how we're reacting. “ - Charmaine Hammond     Valuable Free Resource: Charmaine's Teams Working Better Together Ebook! Visit: Working Better Together     Topics Covered:     01:20 - Challenge is the time conflict resolution takes up, specifically in an organization or in the workplace   02:28 - Taking too much time or waiting too long thus making it harder to come up with a solution, and involves more people: a common mistake business leaders face when it comes to answering conflict   04:04 - One free and actionable tip you can do to overcome and face conflict: After you've identified that issue, and you sort of commit to, "I need to deal with this effectively and soon", a great actionable tip is to practice.   07:11 - One valuable free resource to learn more about conflict resolution: Charmaine's Teams Working Better Together Ebook!

A: For us to ask ourselves that question in our head.     Key Takeaways:   “When you can deal with it quicker and effectively, of course, but quicker, it allows less opportunity for conflict to take on many different faces in the workplace so that leaders can actually spend their time leading, and not necessarily having to navigate through all the people issues.” - Charmaine Hammond   “If you can think about why am I reacting this way, pause, take a breath, and then clarify the assumption with the person by asking an open-ended question that starts with who, what, where, when, why, or how. What that does is it shifts the conversation from being, I'm gonna use the word 'positional' or where you feel like you have to be defending yourself to more of an exploration or an open conversation.” - Charmaine Hammond   Ways to Connect with Charmaine Hammond: ● Website: http://charmainehammond.com/    Ways to Connect with Sarah E.
