The workplace has undergone significant changes over the last decade. Important conversations about gender and equity, race, the environment, the pandemic, and remote work have shown us how crucial it is to talk about these topics thoughtfully.

This webinar will help you get a handle on the dynamics of polarizing conversations and how we naturally react to challenging discussions. You’ll learn skills to manage your own emotions while talking about different viewpoints, so you can turn heated discussions into productive and respectful ones. The goal is not to convince others to see things your way, but to listen, empathize, and validate their perspective to foster healthy communication.
