Connecting Through Conversation Course
We know that anyone willing to honor the conversation agreements can host a Living Room Conversation, including you! Those wanting to grow their practice or deep dive into the power of conversation can now join our Connecting Through Conversation Course.
This course will prepare you to bring better conversation to all aspects of your personal and professional lives and better connect with others through conversation.
This four-week program can be completed at your own pace, asynchronously. There will be discussion boards, quizzes, reflections, videos, and more. We encourage participants to connect with each other through the discussion boards and also through one Living Room Conversation a week.
