From Understanding to Action: Boost Productivity with Compassionate Communication
Effective communication is essential in education for all stakeholder groups. Whether it's with students, colleagues, teams, or parents, listening and responding with empathy is the key. This workshop will equip you with skills and strategies for compassionate communication and collaboration in your educational community. The workshop will focus on demonstrating empathy without forgoing "accountability." You'll learn proactive communication techniques and compassionate response strategies for common scenarios in school systems. Join Lisa Westman to gain practical knowledge on redirecting challenging conversations and navigating uncomfortable situations with grace.
