Compassionate Conversations: How to talk with anyone about anything…without conflict

Communicating with people who see the world differently than we do can feel challenging or even impossible!

How can we hold reasonable conversations with those who seem to disagree with everything we say?

How do we connect with people who just won't listen?

I’ve created a 5-week class that will help with the stress, discomfort and frustration you experience with family or co-workers so that you can feel comfortable talking about any topic with anyone.

Any topic. Anyone. Really.

Here’s what you’ll get in this five-week series:

-the 4 essential components for communicating compassionately and how to use them in any conversation

-Listening skills you can immediately put into practice that will relieve tension in any stressful conversation

-The ability to be fully present with others so you can really hear what they’re trying to say

-The confidence to speak your mind and share your opinions without hurting another's feelings

Online classes begin January 7, 2025 @ 6:30 PM. Fee is $150.
