authenticity, respect, and trust. In this webinar, you’ll gain exposure to

Whether you wish to learn a new skill to communicate with your teenager more
productively, engage a group of stakeholders around an initiative, or hold more
effective public engagement meetings, SMART Conversations® is a particular
brand of dialogue that will bring your effectiveness to a new level.
In this webinar, you’ll also be introduced to the “Belief Map,” a valuable tool
that challenges your filters, and helps you question your negative beliefs to
shift to a place of curiosity and dialogue.
