BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Conversational capacity is the ability of a person or team to engage in open, balanced, non-defensive dialogue about difficult subjects and in challenging circumstances. The goal is to find the “sweet spot” in any meeting or conversation where candor and curiosity are in balance.
The Conversational Capacity course with The Ken Blanchard Companies describes how to get to that “sweet spot”. ATD Dallas Chapter member and 2021 SWLS Co-chair & Emcee, Olivia Wilmsen, will share the high points of the course content during our October SIG session.

Getting Ready:
1. Use the Zoom app on your mobile phone, connected to a 4G network for the best possible experience. Or use a computer or tablet connected to WiFi, making sure you have a stable connection with good bandwidth for a streaming video/audio connection.
2. If you plan to use a computer for the video AND a phone for the audio, make sure you mute the audio features on one of your devices to avoid disruptive audio feedback/noise.
3. Come prepared to join in the discussion!
