Dialogue & Difficult Conversations
PROGRAM
Dialogue &
Difficult Conversations
Create the conditions for meaningful conversation.
Some of the most important conversations are also the most difficult.
Different experiences, interests, expectations and power dynamics can make it challenging to create conversations in which people can genuinely contribute and progress can be made.
Effective dialogue requires the ability to listen, ask good questions, understand different perspectives and create space for constructive disagreement.
