The non-profit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center hosts a free talk on Feb. 18 as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from noon to 1 pm via Zoom.
This month’s speaker is Catherine Lampton on the topic “Meet Your Listening Brain and How to Be Around Others that Think Differently.”
“Our brains have tremendous neurological power to manage and control what we listen to and how we automatically interact in conversations,” says Lampton.
In this talk, learn why these neurons exist, how they operate, and how you can gain some control of the process to communicate more effectively—especially with those who think differently than you do.
