Audio: Bridges Out of Poverty Audio Workshop
  $149.00

In seven CDs, Bridges consultant Jodi Pfarr has captured much of the heart, soul and content of aha! Process, Inc.'s popular workshop, Bridges Out of Poverty. Recorded live in Denver, Colorado, Jodi’s humor-filled presentation makes her breadth of knowledge in this field abundantly evident.

Over the course of this audio workshop, you'll listen to stories, comparisons of mental models of poverty and middle class and begin to understand your experience of the societal system. The seminar also includes a detailed poverty analysis, exercises, and specific solutions you and your organization can implement immediately to:

  • Adopt an accurate and comprehensive approach to poverty.
  • Analyze our own environment, circumstances, and role in society in order to take responsibility for our own actions.
  • Build relations of mutual respect with people from other environments and classes.
  • Redesign programs and procedures to better serve people to come to the organization for help.
  • Apply Bridges constructs to our own staff and organization.
  • Address change at the individual, organizational, and societal levels.
  • Improve performance and outcomes of staff and the people you serve.
  • Understand the multiple causes of poverty and begin to explore how all can be addressed.
Whether this is your first time listening to the Bridges information, or whether you are listening again to help integrate the concepts into your thinking, this seven CD set is a live presentation that will enhance your understanding and be a great addition to your professional library.
