Ninth Annual Meeting & Training

An interactive seminar in Powerful Non-Defensive Communications presented by internationally recognized speaker and author Sharon Strand Ellison.

Learning Objectives

• Examine subtle (and not so subtle) ways that professionals may prompt each other and clients to become defensive and block effective resolution of disputes.

• Apply new communication techniques that reduce defensiveness and power struggles and promote openness and sincerity.

• Gain skills to ask questions that get at the core of issues quickly; give feedback without conveying judgment; express opinions without causing alienation; set boundaries that increase respect; and develop a common understanding of issues.
