Monthly Forum: Identity in Conflict
Thursday, March 14, 4:00-6:00 PM, Terra Nova, 85 Main Street, North Adams
The past forums have focused on techniques to enhance communication when having difficult conversations. This forum will focus more inward, looking at how our identity is compromised during difficult conversations. Participants will start by mapping their own identity and discussing how their identities influence communication styles, perceptions, and behaviors during challenging interactions. We will then look at ways to ground one’s identity to help individuals have meaningful conversations. Join us for an upcoming forum. No registration required. All are welcome. Time for announcements and introductions during the first portion of the forum. Questions? 413-663-7588.
