Workshop: Taking Offence
It is difficult to handle criticism personally, but what if the criticism were directed at something that one holds dearly? This is often the dilemma faced by people with strong belief systems, as criticisms or discussions become seen as ridicule of attack on one’s values.
This talk will give examples of Conflict Resolution, in a friendly and non-confrontational way, to illustrate how ‘offence’ should be taken into context.
