From Feeling to Action: Communication with Intention - Online Classroom

​Leading outdoor activities sometimes involve navigating high-stakes conversations, diverse perspectives, and inevitable moments of conflict. This workshop is designed to help you strengthen your ability to communicate with authenticity, empathy, and intention.

​You’ll learn to:

• ​Recognize and connect with your emotions somatically.
• ​Understand the link between feelings, needs, and action.
• ​Express yourself with more authenticity and clarity.
• ​Cultivate empathy for yourself and others and communicate with effectiveness.

​Through real-world scenarios, non-violent communication framework, and guided reflection, you’ll uncover your own patterns in conflict, practice tools for constructive dialogue, and understand why conversations break down.

You’ll leave with greater self-awareness, practical tools for authentic dialogue, and a workbook with assessment tools to help you connect with a wide range of audience.
