Inhaltsangabe:

Whether we like it or not, tough conversations are a part of life – you know, those interactions that require us to unveil our true hearts and minds and risk offending another person. Conversations like revealing your hurt to your mother about her comments, asking your neighbors to pick up their dog’s piles in your yard, or requesting that a coworker respect your privacy. Today, even more risky is dialogue on hot-button topics like politics, race, gender, and sexuality. With deep-seated division threatening to tear apart our families and communities, the need to learn to discuss difficult topics in life-giving ways has become dramatically apparent. In this 8-session study for individuals or small groups, communication trainer Dr. Heidi Petak will guide you through a two-part communication style assessment to create a comprehensive picture of how you communicate across your relationships. Then, she'll teach you how to turn from the fear that motivates your Turtle, Fox, and Bulldog tendencies and find the faith to Speak Eagle. Grounded in the Word of God and spiced with three years of narrative accounts from interviews with countless clients, students, and friends, this transformational study will give you the wings you need to SOAR through your toughest conversations with wisdom and faith.
