Preparation isn’t just for the “sage from the stage” type of communication - i.e. your next big presentation or lecture. Effective preparation is critical for conversation, too, enabling a group to avoid ruts of dysfunctional and transform their relationships. As a result of preparation, participants can engage more deeply with others on subjects about which they feel passionately...and differently. A facilitator can prepare people to enter a new kind of conversation and avoid old, stuck patterns of communication.

After 25 years of working with communities facing deep cultural, religious and political divides, Public Conversations Project has honed in on thoughtful preparation practices as one of a facilitator’s most valuable tools, enabling a divided group to have conversations they never dreamed possible. This workshop offers participants one of Public Conversations’ signature contributions to the field of dialogue: a toolkit for participants — and facilitators — to prepare themselves and a group for conversations across deep differences.
