Active Engagement – Why this practice now?
The ability to engage effectively, to relate well and thoughtfully, is a necessary skill in the workplace, community & personal relationships. This course provides a framework to enhance, practice, and discover ways to relate with integrity, work more creatively, and show up as your better self / team.
It provides you real life strategies and the skilled practice to speak to polarized issues while building common ground and safety. Attendees often comment, “Why didn’t I learn this in school? I’ve needed this so badly.”
This approach invites you to explore ways to build on your strengths and overcome blindspots and frustrating patterns that bedevil us all. MORE
