Difficult Conversations with Rick Hawkins

Difficult Conversations 2024 - Register by October 20th!

For most of us, our relationships are one of the things we value most. Working through interpersonal conflict successfully may be the most important skill for personal, family, and career success. It may also be the most challenging skill to learn and do well.

This workshop will focus on the skills needed to have successful difficult conversations with significant others, friends, peers, parents, children, and people we work with, including bosses, and how to approach interpersonal conflict from a win-win perspective so that both peoples’ needs are met, and conflict strengthens relationships rather than weakening them. We will also discuss how to initiate, end, and avoid conversations with others who hold different political views.

We will meet on Zoom on 3 Wednesdays in November, November 6th, 13th, and 20th from 5:30 – 7:00 PM. We will schedule an optional follow-up meeting on Wednesday, January 8th, to share how our difficult conversations are going and what, if anything, we need to do differently going forward. It is important that participants commit to attend all three sessions. Facilitator: Rick Hawkins. To register, email Rick Hawkins (rhawk747@gmail.com). Please note the final day to register is Sunday, October 20th.
