Catherine will explore the Structural Dynamics (SD) model and dialogue as tools for having difficult conversations, focussing on how to recognise when the situation becomes ‘high stakes’ for yourself and/or others.

By the end of the session we will have had the opportunity to:

Identify triggers for ‘high stakes’;
Recognise your own response to ‘high stake’ triggers;
Explore how to lower the stakes for yourself; and
Manage high stake situations by using structural dynamics positions to take when in high stakes.
