Training Applications for Social Activist Organizations

We offer workshop for people in organizations seeking to achieve social change at a local, national, or international level. The following are examples of how we can apply Powerful Non-Defensive Communication (PNDC) skills to the work of people seeking to societal change:

• Mobilizing communities to bring diverse groups together to engage in creative problem solving
  
  
• Examining the relationship of ideology to actual functioning when dealing with diversity and other vital issues within the organization
  
  
• Dealing with frustration and burnout among the leadership and members of the organization or group
  
  
• Moving beyond argumentative, defensive communication patterns within the organization and creating respectful, yet efficient dialogue
  
  
• Learning to give direct and supportive feedback to each other as
  on important issues regarding each person's role
  
  
• Creating a powerful, inspirational approach to interacting with the media
  
  
• Responding with sincere, thought-provoking questions when others challenge or attack the ideas and goals of the organization
  
  
• Speaking with clarity, honesty, and compassion so that representatives of your organization are respected as people who possess wisdom, modeling the group's message in a powerful way
  
  
• Working to achieve social change without getting caught in power struggles with those who oppose those changes
  
  
• Avoiding the pitfall of competing with other organizations that are also seeking social change, but are working on a different issues
  
  
• Using a non-defensive process to help people with diverse agendas move through intense conflict without becoming polarized
