New conversation exercise promotes intentional connection, compassion

Increase your conversational competency in the We Talk '21 kickoff event—Moving Conversations @ WMU, at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, July 21 in the Bernhard Center. This 40-minute exercise was developed by Dr. Doug Lepisto, associate professor of management and co-director of the Center for Principled Leadership and Business Strategy. It is based on a simple, script-guided exercise between two people designed to facilitate compassion and connection. Built upon principles of positive psychology, the exercise can be facilitated in classes, with groups and with family and friends at home.
