Deeper Listening, Hard Conversations, and Stronger Connection
When: March 4, 7:00PM – 8:30PM
Where: Zoom
Back by popular demand, Sandy is joining us for another Connected Conversations for Families workshop, building on the tools families learned in the first session and introducing new strategies to support even more connected communication. This expanded workshop includes a brief recap of key tools from the original session, followed by fresh approaches for listening more deeply, navigating hard conversations without fighting, and responding with greater emotional intelligence when emotions run high.
Designed for families supporting a loved one living with serious mental illness, this session blends insight, compassion, and real-life practicality. Led by Sandy Gerber, Speaker, Certified Communication & Emotional Intelligence Trainer, and Best-Selling Author of the 24x award-winning book Emotional Magnetism, the workshop includes exercises, real-world examples, and opportunities to ask Sandy questions so participants can apply the tools to their own situations.
Families will leave feeling supported, more confident in their communication, and better equipped to protect connection during even the most difficult conversations.
Participants will walk away with tools to:
- Revisit and strengthen the core communication tools from the first session
- Listen in ways that help others feel genuinely heard and understood
- Navigate hard conversations without escalation, shutdown, or blame
- Stay grounded and emotionally regulated during stressful interactions
- Express needs and boundaries with clarity, kindness, and respect
- Respond thoughtfully instead of reacting on impulse
- Build trust, connection, and emotional resilience within the family
