While conflict can often be a healthy way to work through challenges, it can also lead to long-term damage to professional relationships. To avoid negative conflict, we have to better understand our own communication style and the styles of others. This workshop helps participants build the skills to understanding different communication styles, pause before reacting to others, and the relationship between communication and power and privilege.

Facilitated conversations, or “courageous conversations”, are known to spark break throughs to help individuals relate to one another in a more empathetic way.

This multiweek experience is created to inspire openness and real change. Additionally, train-the-trainer services may be provided to your organization’s facilitators to help them build the skills to facilitate these impactful conversations.
