Description

Because of the very nature of working with a variety of personality types, some interactions between individuals can be very difficult to handle. Engaging in such situations, possibly already primed for a confrontation, can only serve to heighten tensions and make the situation worse. This workshop will introduce participants to the Behavioral Adjustment Technique (BAT) program of communication skills. Dr. Battisti will explain and then offer examples so participants can practice being direct and diplomatic. Maintaining a confident, positive demeanor is essential to having difficult conversations and focusing on a healthy outcome.

This informational video is provided to alumni of our Sisters Aging Well Together program. It reflects AIG's ongoing commitment to support Communities.
