SUMMARY:HSA USA Free Webinar - OFNR: A Framework for Difficult Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Difficult conversations are a natural part of working and connecting with others – especially as we bring different experiences\, perspectives\, strengths\, or navigate challenging times. Yet many of us avoid these conversations or enter them without the skills to handle them effectively. The result is often tension\, eroded trust\, and missed opportunities that affect relationships\, workplace culture\, and outcomes. \nThis interactive webinar offers a preview of a deeper workshop series\, Leading Difficult Conversations with Compassion\, designed for anyone who navigates challenging conversations. Together\, we’ll explore a practical conversation framework (OFNR – Observation\, Feeling\, Needs\, Request) you can use to more effectively lead tough discussions – strengthening the quality and impact of your communication both in and outside of work. \nAll participants will leave with: \n\nAn understanding of why difficult conversations can feel challenging\, and how to approach them more effectively\n\n\nGreater confidence in showing up to difficult conversations with intention and care\n\n\nAn easy-to-use guide for navigating conversations with compassion and clarity\n\nWhether you’re giving feedback\, addressing performance concerns\, managing conflict\, or simply asking for what you need\, this webinar offers a glimpse of what’s possible when we approach difficult conversations with intention and compassion. \nFor more information contact Holly@helensandersonassociates.com

SUMMARY:HSA USA - The Story I’m Telling Myself - Observations in Compassionate Communication
DESCRIPTION:The Story I’m Telling Myself – Observations in Compassionate Communication\nTuesday\, October 14 at 1:00pm PST\nThis is the first in a three-part series exploring the OFNR model (Observation\, Feelings\, Needs\, Requests) from Non-Violent Communication. \nHow we communicate at work can make or break relationships\, collaboration\, and trust. Sometimes\, it’s not what happened that causes tension\, it’s how we interpret what happened. \nJoin us for a free\, one-hour interactive webinar where we’ll explore how to pause and notice what’s really happening—what we can actually see or hear—without adding judgment or evaluation. As part of Compassionate Communication\, this practice is called making observations. This small but powerful shift can help reduce misunderstandings and support working together with greater clarity\, care\, and compassion. \nIn this session\, you’ll: \n\nLearn the difference between observations and evaluations\, and why it matters for understanding and trust\nExplore how our interpretations can block understanding and connection\nPractice turning evaluations into clear\, grounded observations to support moving forward with care and purpose\nAccess tools and resources to help you apply this learning in everyday conversations\n\nReserve your spot today — it’s free! \nHave questions? Email us at holly@helensandersonassociates.com.
