San Diego is home to diverse neighborhoods, cultures, beliefs and walks of life. This workshop helps participants learn how one's personal and cultural identity affects their communication style. Learn how to recognize when a communication breakdown is happening and how best to manage it—our different styles of communicating can be the root of the issue.
