Braver Angels Workshop - Skills for Disagreeing

Has your spouse strongly suggested you can disagree with the referee without being ejected from your daughter's T-Ball Game? 

Have your relatives threatened to remove your name from the family tree? 

Are you no longer speaking to your brother-in-law because you can’t agree on ‘facts’?

Rotary to the rescue!  On May 30^th, the Rotary Club of Fort Collins (RCFC) will present a workshop on Skills for Disagreeing Better, in partnership with Braver Angels. 

 Braver Angels is a 501.(c)3 non-profit working nationwide to bring Americans together to bridge the partisan divide and strengthen our democratic republic.  

This free workshop will be held at the Fort Collins Senior Center, Thursday, May 30, from 5:00 to 7:30 PM beginning with a Fellowship/Social hour and hors d’oeuvres.  Registration is now open.  Click here to register  and check the "Free" box.  *Details below. 

Braver Angel’s workshop, Skills for Disagreeing Better, helps participants understand the values and concerns of those whose opinions differ, and teaches essential skills for communicating across differences and finding common ground.

Workshop Goals:

• More understanding of the values and concerns of people who differ from you politically and otherwise.
• Better skills for listening in a way so that the other person feels heard
• Better skills for sharing viewpoints in a way the other person might hear -- even if they disagree

Capacity is limited to 55 persons.  Pre-registration is required.  ALL individuals must register in advance. 

Attendance is initially reserved for Rotary Club of Fort Collins (1918) members and their invited guests.  On May 15th registration will be opened to all Rotarians, space available.  Please reserve your space early.
