Presented by nationally-­recognized poverty expert, Dr. Donna M. Beegle
Income, educational opportunities, and life experiences shape communication styles and how we relate to others. In Dr. Beegle’s research with people living in the crisis of poverty, 92% reported that when they leave a helping professional they do not know what to do next. Much of the misunderstanding is related to the vocabulary we use, our examples, and styles of sharing information. In this highly-interactive workshop, participants will learn the five biggest causes of communication breakdown, explore differences in communication by social class, understand the impact of life experiences on communication styles, and obtain concrete tools for improving communication, relationships, and follow through.
