ERNLLCA - Navigating Conflict in Council Culture

How to use ChatGPT: Use AI to do Council Tasks Faster - SLCC
You might have heard about ChatGPT and thought it sounds scary and isn’t for you.
The truth is this new technology is here to stay and can be a very useful tool. The chatbot AI can do a surprising amount of tasks, and Becky Walsh has been exploring what it can do for the kinds of tasks we do as councils.

Civility and Respect: Understanding psychopathic and narcissistic behaviour
Both psychopathic and narcissistic people generally lack empathy and tend to have unrealistically high opinions of themselves. They often exploit and manipulate others, and can be hard to spot as they can also be superficially charming. They are also attracted to roles of power and are often found in high leadership positions such as company CEOs and in political roles.
In this webinar, we learn how to spot them and also how to monitor your own behaviour to lessen their impact on you and your organisation.

The Psychology of community engagement
In councils we talk about hard-to-reach communities.
However, often councils feel hard to reach for community members.
In this webinar, we look into the human psychology of how we can best get the community to care about something they don’t see to be inclusive of them.

How to use Graphic Design Software – Canva
Without an in-house graphic designer, creating presentations, eye-catching social media posts, posters, flyers, business cards and even online videos feels impossible, unless you have discovered Canva.com. Canva makes creating eye-catching, engaging marketing easy.
In this webinar, Becky will share her screen and teach you how to use Canva from the basics to advanced tips. Perfect for anyone who doesn’t have a dedicated communication and marketing officer.

How to Create a Listening Communications Plan
We are often concerned with the messages we send out and how they land.
However, these messages need the influence of the voice of the people you are communicating with.
This 1-hour webinar is about how to create a listening strategy for your community and teams.

How to bring fresh air to toxic situations
Humans are hardwired to connect to each other, and sometimes the desire for connection can lead to drama as our fears create defences.
It’s an art form to be able to not have your own fears triggered in toxic situations.
This webinar leans into human psychology and some spiritual (not religious) principles to support how we change toxic spaces and group dynamics. Training for town and parish councils.

Navigating Cultural Change in Town, Parish and Community Councils
Change is inevitable—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Whether it’s new responsibilities being passed down from District Councils, the arrival of a new team member, or an office relocation, cultural shifts can impact every aspect of council operations and community engagement. This webinar will provide strategies to manage these transitions with confidence and clarity.

The Council strategy is key to this, it needs to be a developing living document. In addition it needs to have feelings, in the form of values.

Holding On or Moving Forward? Understanding Resistance in Councils
Change can bring progress, but also pushback. In council culture, it’s not unusual for long-standing members or staff to resist new ideas, processes, or people. Often, this resistance isn’t about stubbornness, it’s about fear. Fear of uncertainty, loss of control, or being left behind.
This one-hour webinar is for anyone working in a council environment, whether you’re introducing change or navigating it. We'll look at the psychology of resistance, what drives people to cling to "how we've always done it," and how to approach these situations with empathy and effectiveness.
We’ll explore:
Why change feels threatening (especially in tight-knit or traditional teams)
How to manage resistance with compassion, not conflict
Ways to communicate change clearly and reduce anxiety
Tools for building a more adaptable council culture
Practical strategies for working with people who are afraid of the future
Whether you’re the change-bringer or the one feeling left behind, this session gives you the insight and tools to move forward without leaving others behind.

Powerful Confidence
If you’ve ever had the stuffing knocked out of you by circumstance, other people or traumatic events, you may wonder when you’ll get back to ‘being yourself’.
When you’re feeling in a low mental state, you know those days when your brain says ‘you’ll never amount to much’, self-doubt creeps in uninvited and gets right in the way of being productive. What’s needed is a shift in perception.
This webinar gives you skills in self-reflection that comes from a basis of positive psychology, without the need for unauthentic ‘positive thinking’. Learn how to make an authentic, self-caring, confident inner voice that is louder than your doubt.

How to Have Better Conversations About Neurodivergence in Councils
Neurodivergence is part of the natural diversity of human brains, and yet, it’s often misunderstood, minimised, or even dismissed in workplace conversations. Phrases like “we’re all a bit on the spectrum” might be well-meaning, but they can unintentionally invalidate real experiences and create barriers to inclusion.
This one-hour webinar is for all council staff and councillors, whether you’re neurodivergent yourself, support someone who is, or want to help build a more inclusive and psychologically safe workplace.
We’ll explore:
· What neurodivergence really means (beyond the stereotypes)
· How to create space for needs without making anyone feel like a problem
· Why some comments, though casual, can be harmful and what to say instead
· How to have open, respectful conversations about difference
· Recognising and valuing neurodivergent strengths as well as challenges
With a blend of psychology, communication tools, and real-world insight, this session will help your team move from awkwardness or avoidance to curiosity, empathy, and confidence.
Let’s build councils where people don’t have to mask who they are to belong.
