“Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series – “Communicating with Empathy: The Path to Seeing More Deeply”

“How can we engage in communication that will help to establish a deeper connection with others?” asks Smoke.  “Empathy development includes emotional intelligence techniques such as perspective taking, staying out of judgement, recognizing someone’s emotions, and communicating understanding.”

In this talk, you’ll take away tools to practice empathic communication in your daily life.
