Eugene, OR: Working with Personality Differences: Communication Tools for Harmony Within Diversity

Community Mediation Services and the Oregon Fellowship of Reconciliation (*) present

Working with Personality Differences: Communication Tools for Harmony Within Diversity — An interactive one-day workshop with Dr. Barbara Datè (**)

This workshop provides concrete, practical skills to understand one’s own and others’ behavior using the personal style inventory tool, The Friendly Style Profile. By helping us “speak each other’s languages”, Barbara will guide us to explore individual and cultural differences. Whether we are relating to those in our personal lives, to our neighbors, or with our co-workers, we can learn to build healthier relationships, prevent dysfunctional conflict, and become better equipped to understand, affirm and respect one another.
