Communication That Can Change Minds & The World We need to leave our comfort zone and speak with those in our lives with whom we disagree, because we have the power to influence family and friends in favor of social justice and tolerance.

Using tools of de-escalation, mediation and non-violent communication, Diana will help you prepare communication techniques to build bridges with those with whom we disagree, to really hear each other without provocation, and to be able to speak on behalf of justice to people in your life as a force for effective social change.
