Harnessing the Power of Talking Out Loud Workshop in Ann Arbor

Do you think better when thinking out loud? Learn how to set things up so that the power of listening can work its magic more effectively. "The workshop was amazing! Very insightful, informative, and fun! The facilitator has a unique strategy and teaching style. I felt so welcomed and heard." -Erica Teddy Bear Talk Support provides a framework for benefiting from listeners who say very little. We’ll call these listeners teddy bears. When a teddy bear does talk, it is because the talker has asked the teddy bear to do something small, like ask some open, honest questions or reflect some things back. Big changes can happen for the talker as a result of the little things the teddy bear might do or say to just “jiggle” things a bit for the talker. Teddy Bear Talk Support is about clearing the way for the power of listening to work its magic. Come to a free online workshop to learn more about different ways to engage in Teddy Bear Talk Support.
