Fierce Conversation Training - San Jose, California

Fierce Conversation Training at the 2017 Folio Summer Institute

Overview

Participants will leave this training with the skills to fully engage in real conversations with peers, parents, colleagues, and students. Many have found that this training also extends to their personal relationships. While this training is based on the book Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott, FolioCollaborative Executive Director Meredith Ford uses her experiences working with schools to adjust the context of the conversations to meet the needs of Folio school leaders.

Fierce Conversations® teaches attendees how to ignite productive dialogue that interrogates reality, provokes learning, resolves tough challenges and enriches relationships.
