Dialogue Road Map
20 years of research and practice by Maria at the Centre for Peaceful Solutions led to the understanding that some essential communication skills are missing for most of us.
Whether within our families or relationships, with our clients, in disputes or in education, conversations don’t always go the way that we would like and can leave us feeling disempowered, judged or misunderstood or lacking in the connection we seek.
In response to this all too common dilemma, Maria developed the Dialogue Road Map.
Applications for the Dialogue Road Map training course 2021 is now open!
