Effective communication and conflict resolution lie at the heart of our work as educators and leaders for Deeper Learning. Engaging in high stakes dialogue (when opinions vary and emotions run strong) is a skill that can be honed and practiced. Participants will learn critical dialogical skills to strengthen decision-making, commitment to action, and relational trust. We will draw from several frameworks, including "Crucial Conversations," "Courageous Conversations about Race," and "Difficult Conversations," to guide our work together. After learning some key strategies, we will practice and connect with an "accounta-bili-buddy" who will check in with you two weeks after the conference to debrief how your real-life tough conversation actually went!
