Workshop 3: Paul Patchel Conversation Series
May 11 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
Paul Patchel Conversation Series 2024
Struggling in conversations or relationships with others of differing viewpoints? Join our three workshops designed to help you engage in constructive dialogues with individuals of diverse backgrounds and viewpoints.
Workshop 3: From Practice to Everyday Encounters
Participants who joined us for either of our first two workshops are invited to return for a follow-up workshop Together, we will reflect on our collective experiences and the application of our newfound knowledge.
Having thought-provoking conversations in a controlled setting is extremely valuable. But how do we have difficult conversations in settings that are not structured and with people who may not have been “trained” to have productive conversations?
Some of the questions we will explore are:
- How do we set informal ground rules and expectations?
- How do we maintain our composure?
- How do we convince ourselves to be a little vulnerable and take the first step?
- How do we maximize the chance the other person will maintain theirs?
- How do we help ensure each person walks away feeling “good” about the fact you had the conversation?
We encourage you to sign up for any or all workshops as part of the Paul Patchel Conversation Series 2024. Space is limited to 30 attendees. Learn more and register here:
