Intro: Strategies for Difficult Political Conversations September 17, 2012

Would you like new ways to speak effectively with those with different political views, addressing issues of equality and social change? How do you share your views in a way that can be easily heard by others? And how do you support others---including those with very different views than what you hold---to have space to hear you?

This presentation/workshop goes over:
-- Ways of communicating that draw on common values to foster shared understanding and trust -- even when others may be distrusting, dismissive or judgmental
-- Techniques to self-manage your reactions in challenging conservations
-- Tools to talk about equality in a way that changes how others see and experience the world, opening both hearts and minds

Join Dian Killian, PhD, author, activist, and founder and lead trainer of the Center for Collaborative Communication, as she shares effective strategies you can use to shift power in the midst of conflict to focus on shared values.
