Details

   Background
The majority of people know how they should approach discussion of sensitive issues with those with whom they disagree on those issues. Yet most avoid such dialogue. Respectful and effective dialogue is the foundation to creating change for the better.

Objective
To enable attendees to discuss respectfully and effectively sensitive core value issues with family, friends and others when they know there are deeply rooted differences. To find ways to turn blame intro trust, differences into understanding, and conflicts into cooperation. Effectiveness is not measured by persuasive- ness in converting the other; it is measured by the degree to which common ground, trust and the ability to work together are developed.

Points

  
  • Turn conflicts into cooperation
  • Transform blame into trust
  • Use conversations to create change for the better
  • Learn to listen to the meaning in any message
  • Speak in ways that inspire listening and care
