Compassionate Conversations: Speaking from the Heart


ID : 1766   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Communication can be challenging and sometimes it's the hardest with those we are closest to. How can we have a conversation with someone who disagrees with what we say? How do we connect to those who just won't listen? Learning to communicate with compassion enhances and improves all of our personal and social relationships. Understanding the skills needed to connect deeply with others makes all the difference. We will learn the four components of Compassionate Communication and how to use them in any conversation. We'll learn and practice true empathic listening and gain the self-confidence needed to speak our minds without fear of hurting another's feelings.
