Politics Is Not Off-Limits

Politics Is Not Off-Limits

As we look around us today, we're hard-pressed to witness a healthy conversation about politics between two people who occupy opposite sides of the political fence. Role models are tough to find, and the screaming, mud-slinging media pundits we see on television definitely don't fit the bill. Their style might make for good drama, but it doesn't really work in real life, real families, and real relationships. Yet, the ability about to talk about difficult issues and stay connected in relationships is essential for shaping healthy friendships, families, neighborhoods, and communities. 

In this course, taught by a conservative Christian communication professor (Dr. Heidi Petak) and a liberal nontheist core energetics practitioner (Kellie Newton) who have been friends for over 35 years, you'll learn practical tools for having the right mindset, asking the best questions, listening and sharing effectively, and of course, navigating conflict without screaming. With over 30 minutes of video lessons and a pdf of additional exercises to help you process the material, you'll be ready the next time a political issue comes up with a friend or loved one. 

Politics are a hot button today and our world is more divided than ever. But you can do something about it. You can learn the tools in this course to connect with someone very different from you-  on a heart level. Regardless of your past experience and what you may think, it really is possible to have a HEALTHY conversation and talk about politics without screaming at each other!
