Looking In and Reaching Out: Relationship Skills that Work

(WSP 143)

Whether at home or at work, our relationships require wisdom, self-awareness, and skill. Our sometimes subtle, sometimes intense emotions need attention if we are to have meaningful and effective relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. This workshop will promote confidence in your relationships by presenting a model that focuses attention on what is important, and by providing a practical guide for developing and using interpersonal communication skills. You will learn how to deal with opinions and emotions in communications, how to listen effectively, how to distinguish conflicts that can be easily resolved from those that cannot, how to approach those that can be resolved, and how best to communicate your concerns in a responsible and constructive way.

This workshop will be offered Credit/No Credit only.
