Dialogue Across Differences

In light of recent current events, it is more important than ever to courageously engage in honest and meaningful conversations with those around us. We all have beliefs, values and a plethora of opinions and if we allow those opinions to close down our ability to hear, it is unlikely that any change can occur between two people. In this introductory, experiential workshop, Folami and McKenzie will show you how to tap into expanding compassion as you confront your own biases and others', improve your listening skills, and ask powerful questions to help create courageous conversations.

You will learn:

• Four kinds of listening and how and when to use them
• How to keep conversations open and flowing
• How to honor differences and still stay in conversation
• The role that compassion plays in having courageous conversations
• How to create the conditions for groups of people to have effective conversations

Folami Prescott-Adams and McKenzie Wren have been working with groups of people to have conversations about race, bias, education and inclusion for numerous years. They believe that listening may not solve every problem but good listening creates the conditions to be able to learn from each other, understand hopes and fears and help something new emerge. This powerful workshop will help you deepen your impact by improving your communication skills.
