Bridging the Gap: Storytelling Through Differences - Women in Business Luncheon
Difficult conversations are inevitable in life, work and business. Whether you come to the conversation willingly or through awkward circumstances, conflict can be tough to manage. As women, we are often tasked with greater pressures to not be labeled and/or be perceived a certain way.
At the heart of any conflict is a difference - a barrier that must be crossed to shared understanding - and the quickest way to get to common ground is with storytelling.
In this presentation, we'll take a look at several difficult conversations and discuss:
- How to bridge the G.A.P. to understanding
- How to tell a story without creating a victim
- When facts and stories collide and how to tell the difference
- How to listen to stay present in the conversation
