    Upcoming Events

    The Art of Challenging Conversations

    Four-week long workshops Tuesdays, September 12, 19, 26 and October 3
    Bellevue Main Library, Room 1

    We often avoid or get angry during challenging conversations because we have not learned the skills to discuss hard topics peacefully. Learning the skills can be life-changing. 

    In this four-week workshop, practice some skills for engaging in challenging conversations: assessment of the issue, initiating, choosing words carefully, hearing the other, negotiating an outcome and deciding on next steps.

    Taught by Marci McReynolds, Conflict Resolution Center Manager
