Before the Conversation: Preparing Ourselves for Better Dialogue
Eric Aiken, Office of Vice Provost Sustainability and Climate Action
Designed for people who regularly engage in dialogue and want to do so with greater intention, this interactive workshop explores dialogue as both a skill set and a relational practice. Participants will examine conflict influencers that shape a conversation before it begins.
Through guided reflection, facilitated conversation, and applied practice, participants will examine what shapes their readiness for difficult dialogue and develop a pre-dialogue ritual they can use in future conversations.
The session will support participants in remaining engaged across differences while creating conditions for perspective-taking and collaborative engagement.
