Teddy Bear Talk Support provides a framework for benefiting from listeners who say very little. We’ll call these listeners teddy bears. When a teddy bear does talk, it is because the talker has asked the teddy bear to do something small, like ask some open, honest questions or reflect some things back. Big changes can happen for the talker as a result of the little things the teddy bear might do or say to just “jiggle” things a bit for the talker.
Teddy Bear Talk Support is about clearing the way for the power of listening to work its magic. Come to a free online workshop to learn more about different ways to engage in Teddy Bear Talk Support. For more information, go to teddybeartalksupport.com.

All Teddy Bear Talk Support workshops can be attended free of charge. Teddy Bear Talk Support is a simple idea that is meant to be shared widely to reach as many people as possible. So, there are free tickets available for coming to this workshop.
There are also tickets available that allow you to make a donation. In the last 2 months, I've been finding that spending about $4 a day for advertising on EventBrite has been an effective way to reach more people. Donations for helping to cover the cost of advertising are welcome, but not required. If the free tickets have all been taken before you were able to get one, email me at teddybear@umich.edu and I'll add you to my list of attendees that are coming to the workshop. Thanks!
