They've been interviewing us, now it's time to hear directly from them. Join four local journalists as they share what goes into telling Edmonton's story, why it matters, who shapes the conversation, and what's at stake. City building isn't just about creating physical spaces, it's the stories we tell ourselves and to others, that make the places we call home. From pressing urban issues like the declaration of a housing emergency to longer-form stories around urban growth and community change, the real estate development industry makes the news. Our multi-agency broadcast on the issues that matter most, live on location, at 12:30 p.m. on September 19.

Conversation is the essential building block of all communication. What, when, how, and why we hold a conversation can have a profound impact on achieving our desired outcome.

Those who work in community housing operate primarily in a people-oriented business; they must engage in and build a wide variety of relationships with residents, staff, board members, contractors, agencies, community organizations, and other stakeholders.

Not all relationships are smooth sailing and conflict is inevitable. When the stakes feel high, emotions run strong, or opinions conflict, we often label necessary conversations as “difficult.”  Whether we’re facing difficult conversations with co-workers, clients, friends, or family, invariably the same fears and feelings of apprehension come over us: not knowing what to say, the fear of failure, or the fear of making matters worse.

During this two-part online interactive workshop, we will explore the constructs, traps, and pitfalls of difficult and conflict-oriented conversations, why they go wrong, and how to approach, plan, and execute them in a more successful manner using practical tips, tools, and real-world examples.
