Next Thursday (July 27, 2017) Sarah Brabbs, is giving a presentation titled, It's Not Me, It's You - Changing Defensive Communication. . Please join Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North to hear her talk.​​​​​​
Talk Description:
 
We all know defensiveness when someone acts defensive towards us – and when we are defensive with others. It can be hard to see past defensiveness and know how to navigate it.
 
Come learn all about defensive communication – why we do it, what we can do instead, and how to move ourselves and others beyond a defensive communication climate.
