Courageous Discomfort Workshop: Having Brave, Life-Changing Conversations
How can we have honest conversations about topics that silence most of us or in which only a few people dominate? How do we create and sustain an inclusive community where people feel a sense of belonging? How do we know when to advocate for each other or receive feedback when our intentions don’t match our impact?We live in a time where it can feel too hard, too frightening for some of us to step into these moments and make a difference. This presentation shows you how.
Topics covered:
- Managing emotions in contentious interactions
- Recognizing the difference between a curious question and a question that intensifies conflict
- Transforming people’s discomfort into the capacity to build relationships and resilience
- Realizing the connection between emotional regulation, emotional hijacking, and boundaries

Rosalind is also a Senior Leadership Consultant at the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Overseas Schools, serving more than 195 schools worldwide; and contributed to Professor David Yeager’s just-published book: 10 to 25: “An Innovative Approach to Leading the Next Generation and Making Your Own Life Easier.”
