Workshop 3: Practicing Dignity in Conversation

Protecting someone’s dignity doesn’t mean avoiding what needs to be said.

Feedback. Disagreement. A conversation you’ve been avoiding. Even with the best intentions, it’s easy for defensiveness to take over—and for the real message to get lost.

Practicing Dignity in Conversation is about what happens in those moments and how we can communicate differently.

You’ll learn how to listen for dignity—not just information—and how to give feedback in a way that protects the relationship without avoiding what needs to be said.

In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize what may be happening underneath defensiveness

• How to listen for the dignity needs behind what someone is saying

• How to give feedback clearly without unnecessarily triggering self-protection

• How to stay connected when a conversation gets uncomfortable

• A practical approach you can use in your next difficult conversation
