Courageous Conversations

​
Hi everyone,
​
Thank you so much for attending the training on Courageous Conversations with me last month. I loved working with you all and wanted to thank you for all your hard work and willingness to try new things, as well as your support of each another over the 2 modules.
​
This webpage is a summary of the tools & techniques we looked at and also contains recommended links to further online videos and reading.
​
Please do let me know if you have any further questions, comments or indeed successes with using any of these techniques. I'd love to hear from you.
