Discussing Sensitive & Controversial Issues
Have you ever walked away from a conversation where it felt more like a heated dispute than an actual dialogue or discussion? Did one or both of you walk away from the exchange feeling frustrated, hurt, and/or angry? Unfortunately, in a world of increasing polarization, the art of civil discourse appears to have gone down the drain, taking many personal and professional relationships with it. If you are tired of this new norm in communication and would like to change the dynamic, this course is for you. Through reflection, interactive exercises, and guided practice, you will learn how to approach confrontational communications with techniques that promote mutual compassion, respect, and tolerance.
