Skills for Challenging Conversations – LAPP Skills for Teens – TEMPLATE ONLINE
01/01/2020 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST
This Braver Angels workshop gives participants an opportunity to learn and practice effective listening and speaking skills when facing controversial issues in their lives—with teachers, principals, peers, roommates, employers, and relatives. These are especially helpful during these polarized times.
Participants will learn and practice:
- How to disagree with others without demonizing, dismissing, or stereotyping large segments of our nation’s population or members of your community
- Listen to understand
- Speak in ways others will want to hear and be heard
- Affirm the importance of building relationships
- Feel safe to practice those skills
- Learn to take a “LAPP” = Listen, Acknowledge, Pivot, and (give your) Perspective
For a brief overview of the LAPP Skills, watch the following 5-minute video:
