When Conversations Go Bad:

It's not just uncomfortable, it's unproductive.

This workshop is for anyone who wants more powerful, productive,  and satisfying conversations. Communication is the basis of our ability  to collaborate in solving problems  and making decisions. When communication fails, we often do too.

• Awareness of common communication pitfalls that would lead to unproductive & dissatisfying interactions 
• A way to decode exactly what causes some conversations to go well, while others fail
• Specific strategies for common communication traps
• Clear direction on how to adapt the strategies to your particular circumstances
• Ideas for how to shift communication in the moment to get the results you want
