Compassionate Workplace Communication

WORKSHOP

for inclusive teams and organizations in social work, mental health, community & social services, advocacy and non-profit sectors

Compassionate Workplace Communication

Workplaces thrive when people feel safe, valued and heard.

My Compassionate Communication in the Workplace workshop is an interactive training designed for professionals, leaders and teams who want to build healthier communication practices, reduce conflict and strengthen collaboration.

Grounded in Brené Brown’s Dare to Lead™ framework and trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approaches, this workshop helps participants:

  • Understand how shame shows up in professional settings and how it impacts team dynamics.

  • Learn and practice the five core skillsets of empathy.

  • Explore the seven elements of trust that support both self-trust and relational trust.

  • Use curious, open-minded conversation starters and communication skills to navigate difficult situations.

  • Apply a practical checklist for offering engaged feedback in a way that fosters accountability and growth.

  • Develop tools for building resilience when receiving feedback, including grounding strategies and self-talk practices.

Through guided reflection, group discussion, and scenario-based practice, participants leave with practical tools they can apply right away, when leading teams, navigating conflict, or engaging in honest, values-based dialogue with colleagues and stakeholders.

This workshop is especially supportive for organizations in the social services, mental health, non-profit, advocacy, and community care sectors, where emotional labour, systemic stressors, and high-stakes decisions often shape workplace culture.

Investment & Value

My workshops are offered in multiple formats to support access, sustainability and engagement:

    • intended for organizations & professional teams seeking a high-level introduction to new perspectives and approaches

  • 3-hour virtual WORKSHOP (for up to 15 participants)

Each option reflects a different level of preparation, facilitation and relational labour — and pricing is structured accordingly.
