THE WORKSHOP
How do we bring our best selves into any conversation?
The ‘self’ that is present, non-reactive, creative, responsive?
That is the focus of this free workshop.
Difficult Conversations: The art and science of working together is a free workshop offering a powerful set of research-based principles and strategies that will allow you to engage in meaningful dialogue with anyone — regardless of social or ideological differences.
Focusing on the question, "Who do we need to be to have the conversations we need to have?", those who take the workshop will:
Gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics that turn conversations into conflicts.
Discover how one critical shift in thinking can turn a negative interaction into a creative and constructive engagement.
Understand how our personal story can be a tool to both build bridges and burn them.
Learn how to look "beyond" our personal story to access more easily and deeply our innate capacity for connection, creativity and collaboration.
