Basics of Communication: Tuesday, February 18th at 10am

Many of us often struggle with the basics of communication without even knowing it. In this workshop we will dig deeper into what it means to actively listen, ask effective questions, and become aware of what type of communication style works best. By learning to avoid miscommunications, build empathy, and improve critical thinking skills, you will be able to better engage in open dialogue in any circumstance.    

Effective Communication - Self Advocacy in Difficult Conversations: Wednesday, February 19th at 4pm

This workshop aims to prepare participants for conversations they may find challenging when speaking with others.  The information included in this workshop focuses on the misconceptions of self-advocacy, normalizing the anxiety around these conversations, and how to effectively communicate concerns. Participants will learn how to prepare for these conversations, techniques for starting and continuing these conversations, as well as skills like how to professionally express disagreement.
