Join us Wednesday, May 22, for a workshop on navigating difficult conversations.

 

In her inspiring TEDx talk, Sarah Crawford-Bohl, an accomplished healthcare leader, delves into the critical importance of facing difficult conversations. Sarah introduces ‘The Moral Compass’, a framework guiding us past any hesitation, helping us make the courageous step of initiating these dialogues. Drawing from her personal life and extensive professional background, Sarah offers relatable insights into overcoming the fear and discomfort that often precede challenging talks. Her approach offers a fresh perspective and a call to embrace courageous communication, for the transformative impact of personal growth, stronger relationships, and meaningful change.

 

In the second half of the workshop, Sarah will introduce the skills for leading a compassionate and productive conversation. We will learn about techniques that support effective feedback and clear communication, which can be practiced in everyday interactions as well as the challenging moments. The session will include a Q&A, and break-out discussions where participants can practice skills and identify how their own assumptions and patterns shape a conversation.
