Helping Conversations
Bringing Out the Best When People are at Their Worst [PowerPoint File] A one-hour seminar designed for EAP staff based upon the concepts found in Helping Conversations:
- People can change. They have resources within them to alter their life circumstance and resolve problems.
- We are more likely to help a person change their behavior when we focus on what is strong in him/her and not what is wrong.
