Resolving Relationship Conflict Using Authentic Dialogue

Unintentional harm occurs, signals get crossed, misunderstandings happen…and ultimately they all lead to conflict in relationships.

Conflict is inevitable…however, conflict does not have to damage your relationships. With the right skills, you can learn to leverage conflict to strengthen relationships and improve trust. 

During this on-demand workshop, you will be introduced to a communication framework called Authentic Dialogue

"Authentic dialogue is about shared inquiry, a way of thinking and reflecting together. It’s an exchange where people think together to co-create something new. It is the seeking of a greater truth... A shared truth that results from a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another."

— Dr. William Isaacs: Author of Dialogue: The Art Of Thinking Together
