Would you like new ways to speak effectively with those with different political views, addressing issues of equality and social change? And how do you support others, including those with very different views than what you hold, to have space to hear you? Dian Killian guides a workshop on ways of communicating to foster shared understanding and trust, techniques to self-manage your reactions in challenging conservations, and tools to talk about equality in a way that changes how others see and experience the world. Killian is founder of the Center for Collaborative Communication, a Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication, and co-author of “Connecting across Differences†and “Urban Empathy.â€
