Hi, I'm Beth Wonson. Whether you're new to Navigating Challenging Dialogue (NCD) or you're someone who's been working with NCD and the NCD Process for some time, welcome to my free resources page.
Navigating Challenging Dialogue® is a toolkit for building trust by developing self-awareness, emotional self-regulation, empathy, and curiosity. Trust in yourself, trust within your team, trust in your personal relationships.
Trust is built one conversation at a time and one experience at a time. Trust is also broken in the same way. Building authentic trust with intentionality requires you to practice Leadership Development, Communication Skills, and authentic Coaching Skills. Those skills are the pillars of Navigating Challenging Dialogue®.
I've curated a few of my client handouts for you here.
