Hickory – Often we set ourselves up thinking of and expecting the worst possible outcome before even initiating a conversation. There are many ways to condition one’s self to imagine the benefit and adaptive outcome rather then embracing negative thinking patterns. This presentation supports the communicator and the communicatee in addressing challenges while focusing on creating an outcome that can serve, protect and enhance the quality of life for both!
