Many of us deeply feel the divisiveness of our time. We long to have bridge-building conversations and yet when we try, we often end up frustrated, angry, dismayed. We want to be true to our values and to have fruitful conversations; sometimes it feels impossible to do both. 

What are ways to maintain connection so that both parties have a chance to speak honestly and be heard?

How do we move from “us” and “them” to a greater sense of shared vision?

How do we cultivate win-win conversations?

This 2-hour training introduces a framework to express yourself with clarity, authenticity and understanding during challenging conversations- at home, in the workplace, or anywhere else. 

The training includes:

• An outline of the framework

• Introduction of strategies 

• Modeling of the practices

• Discussion 

These strategies open possibilities for win-win outcomes. The training is perfect for individuals wanting tools to connect across divides, whether personal or ideological; teams wanting a common framework for communication; and anyone else wanting to cultivate greater connection in conversations. 

This workshop is offered by the Nazareth Retreat Center and registration is through the Nazareth website. Cost of the training is $40. Some scholarships available.
