Most of us see the crux of a difficult conversation as an outward-focused endeavor. But to be most effective in communicating something important to us, we must first look inside and find that which is most important to us. In this experiential workshop we will use physical, mental and emotional cues to help us gain clarity on issues impacting us. Then, we will discuss ways to prepare for and engage in difficult conversations with others — at home or in the workplace.
