Bridging the divide

Bridging the divide

Talk about controversial topics in a way that brings people together:
listen with an open mind, speak with respect, and find your common humanity.

VIDEO WORKSHOP

Would you love to have more dialogues with people who you think are wrong - and maybe even change their mind?

Are you wondering how to navigate the next election and the holidays - without constantly arguing or biting your tongue?

Do you want to stand up for what's important to you - without losing your friends, your family, or your job?

Full disclosure: It's challenging to talk about things that matter when emotions run high and opinions clash. There is no quick and easy fix for polarization, divisiveness, and ignorance. And no matter how eloquent and convincing you are, Uncle Oscar may still vote for that other candidate ...

But: You can stay calm, even when someone pushes your buttons. You can make wiser decisions on when to speak up or stay quiet. You can enjoy spending time with your family, friends, and coworkers - even when you don't like their political or religious views. You can disagree respectfully and keep the channels of communication open. At the very least, you can be civil.

Keep your cool, keep it respectful, keep your relationships.

Wouldn't the world be a much better place if more people did that?

Let's do our part, together.

This video workshop is for you if you want to

discuss controversial topics more gracefully - without giving in to anger or sarcasm,

say what you have to say - in a way people can hear you without getting defensive,

make difficult conversations less stressful - for you and the other person,

live in a less polarized and more respectful world, and

help change people's opinions when it matters.

What you'll get:

4+ hours of video instruction, in bite-sized pieces, to watch on your own schedule.
These videos are NOT recordings of a live event. I do not record live sessions, so that participants can feel free to have frank discussions. Content videos are created separately - as stand-alone learning materials or for review after a live workshop.

eBook (download as a pdf file, or access in your browser). Great if you prefer to read, and for additional review in a different, searchable medium. Includes all video content (with video time stamps for guided practices), two bonus chapters, key concepts in bullet-point format, and practice suggestions.

Key takeaways of each video - for quick reference and easy review.

Practice suggestions to help you integrate and apply what you learned.

What participants have said about previous workshops (names omitted to maintain privacy):

Five stars! All of the content was understandable and related and very relevant. I feel like I got a lot out of it.

Your training was gentle, but super empowering. It made me feel like I can handle this, and the things you suggest are doable.

I was reminded how many avenues there are without being an aggressive bully, a scorned cynic, or a passive pushover.
