This workshop is designed to equip participants with the tools and skills to prepare for difficult conversations with confidence and composure. By focusing on both interpersonal and intrapersonal aspects, we aim to create an environment where all participants can engage fully and authentically.

• Understand the necessary preparations before entering a difficult conversation.
• Learn techniques to regulate the nervous system and manage heightened emotions.
• Develop practical skills for engaging in challenging dialogues through role play and planning.

Participants will have time in pairs, small groups, and whole groups.

Facilitators: Elexus Freeman-Filmore and Bronwen Henry
