In this session, we will be exploring the Skills Matrix practices that support the skill of Facilitating Connection, with an emphasis on the use of connection requests and sharing feedback. We invite you to come prepared with a situation in mind – one in which another person likes to talk a lot about a topic that is not of interest to you, and perhaps a topic which you find triggers unpleasant feelings and unmet needs. We will be practicing these tools together to support you to find power with compassion in these more challenging kinds of interactions – to facilitate a quality of connection that is mutually nourishing
