The Lost Art of Affirming Communication

A FREE Workshop From SCORE

Intelligent Conversations Informed by Simple Tools

Do essential business conversations tend to explode into verbal sparring sessions with the combatants retreating to their respective corners to nurse their wounds, reiterate their point of view and to gather their tribe? Do you come away from key conversations dissatisfied with the encounter and wondering where it got off track?

If you are ready to make a significant change in your approach to create a beneficial outcome, then we can help. Through implementing simple tools that increase your self-awareness, improve your ability to listen to connect, and boost your understanding of neuroscience, you can increase your ability to have conversations that lead to creative and effective solutions, and healthy, respectful relationships. Join us in this free workshop as we lay a framework to improve your conversational intelligence and invigorate the lost art of affirming communication.
