Compassionate Conversations: How to talk with almost anyone about almost anything

This class is a game-changer when it comes to communicating with people who see the world differently than you do.

Compassionate Conversations covers:

how to respond to hard-to-hear messages in ways that allow us to connect with others regardless of our differing perspectives
how judgment, evaluation & criticism get in the way of our innate compassion — and how to limit these common reactions
how identifying our own feelings & needs ensures we can be present and available in any conversation

Required text: Nonviolent Communication, A Language of Life by Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD
