Central Hub PD
Who: Central Hub
What: Speaking Truth to and with Power for Leaders, Teams, Teachers, & Practitioners
Description: This interactive workshop will be led by Dr. Sonny Kelly, an expert in interpersonal communication. Participants will actively engage in the practice of forging diverse personal connections in innovative and practical ways. Using storytelling, poetry, and examples from participants’ own experiences, Dr. Kelly will lead them through a process of diagnosing and developing positive and confirming communication climates versus negative and disconfirming communication climates. Participants will learn clear tactics to effectively create and maintain positive and confirming communication climates while speaking truth to power (“coaching up”) and speaking truth with power (“coaching down” and “coaching laterally”). Finally, participants will garner some crucial skills that will help them to navigate and positively impact existing conflict, as well as negative or disconfirming communication climates. All of this hinges upon a commitment to adopting a dual perspective – putting ourselves in others’ shoes just long enough to understand the world through their eyes (Julia T. Wood, 2020).
