Note: This event is to be attended in person.Depolarizing Conversations is a free two-hour workshop that builds skills that can prevent tense conversations from becoming arguments. These easy skills are especially helpful with friends, family members, work colleagues, at school, and with those you encounter while leading civic renewal activities.This event is an adaptation of the Braver Angels’ most popular workshop, "Depolarizing Within,". This workshop goes farther and provides more practice using the highly effective "LAPP Skills:” Listen, Acknowledge, Pivot, and Perspective in all kinds of situations.Come learn to:<ul><li>Disagree with others - without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping large segments of our nation’s population or members of your own community</li><li>Listen to understand</li><li>Speak your truth in a way that others will want to hear</li><li>Affirm your relationships and develop connections even if you do not agree</li><li>Practice communicaton skills in the structure and safety of the Braver Way</li><li>Take a “LAPP” = Listen, Acknowledge, Pivot, and (give your) Perspective when faced with challenging conversations</li></ul>For a brief overview of the LAPP Skills, watch the following 5 minute video:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50GQUsVQZtU" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50GQUsVQZtU" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">E376: Sharing my perspective in a way others can hear - 'Braver Angels' LAPP Technique</a>*Tickets are Free, Donations Help Use promo code BRAVER during registration to get a free ticket.
