Ever lost sleep because you couldn’t stop rehearsing a conversation in your head?
Conversations are hard for a number of reasons. Either the stakes are high, the topic is emotionally charged, it’s complicated, or there’s conflict present. Oftentimes, it’s all four. Luckily there is a way to make navigating hard conversations easier. In this interactive workshop, Ariana will share the DNA framework, which utilizes the latest research on the Neuroscience of Conversation. Participants will learn practical tools they can implement immediately at work or home to make hard conversations easy.
