Reading Between the Lines: Don't Be a Stranger to Difficult Conversations

About this event

How might you say something hard without making things worse? Silence is so often about fear, not unkindness. How might we remain in a place of compassion even when hurt to stay aligned with our values? Let's read random passages from my book, Don't Be a Stranger to Difficult Conversations, on how to have difficult conversations with dignity. We'll talk about how to bring those pages to life, focusing on healthy boundaries, communication, conflict, listening, repair, and how to have honest yet difficult conversations while still caring about the other person. No need to have the book to join us. Bring your curiosity and an open mind with the intention of leaving a gentler person than you arrived. Guests are asked to order food/drink and contribute to tip (at guest's expense) to ensure our hosting establishment feels appreciated for their service.
