About Terry Harris and his Workshops
Terry Harris is an Okanagan Indian Band member, residing on reserve in the North Okanagan, near Armstrong, BC.
He is a veteran workshop facilitator/writer, working primarily with Native communities and organizations. His presentations are considered to be very effective and productive with a large body of successful work throughout western Canada, Northwest Territories and the Arctic.
His impact in the classroom has deepened participants' ability to provide exceptional, insightful results for personal, family and community endeavours.
The incredible range of information and workshop experience comes from his involvement in the United Native Nations, the Friendship Centre movement, as an addictions counsellor at Round Lake Treatment Centre, Armstrong, BC; as a trainer at the Aboriginal Lifeskills Institute, Kamloops BC; as a Self-Help Coach at the Okanagan Indian Band, Vernon BC; and, a lifetime dedicated to recovery as a second generation Mission School Survivor.
Terry has visited, worked and lived in aboriginal communities from the Arctic, Hawaii, western Canada. through the Americas to the northern Andes of South America. He has seen and experienced, first hand, the amazing range and depth of the Native Experience.
Further, he has written a book on advanced facilitation skills entitled, '50 Secrets From A Transformational Trainer', available this fall, '07.
One of the challenges of presenting workshops is the impact from learning and group interaction fades in time. In Terry's presentations, participants will learn a variety of strategies, insights and skills to continue and build on the workshop experience.
The solution to the limitations of the modern First Nations experience is the individual, with a supportive family, contributing their own resources, hopes and knowledge to the larger communities hopes and dreams.
This will be a very clear next step in staff, groups, or community development and will move you into the position of steady support to the families, leadership and overall future of Native Communities.
The basic premise of all the workshops is - "We are the resource, we are the power, we are the plan."
