The Workshop
Neuroscience tells us that difficult conversations are difficult because they activate our fight/flee/freeze survival drive. In the Difficult Conversations workshop, you’ll learn about three research-based strategies that counteract this ancient survival instinct, helping us to stay present and creative in any conversation. Explore these strategies and more in this free, online workshop.

The Book
A stand-alone read and an ideal companion guide to the workshop, the Difficult Conversations book follows the flow of the workshop, but also offers additional context to facilitate a deeper exploration of its essential concepts. The interactive format also makes it an ideal choice for a book group.
