City Sleuths

Communication Skills

Our program develops a shared understanding of the mix of personal communication, decision making, and role behavior styles within the group, which is affirming and enlightening for everyone. People leave with new awareness and a shared language about their communication styles that they can continue to develop to support their ongoing teamwork.

Strings & Strands

Colorful circular strings are given to all participants to use in forming string figures. As the string figure is formed, the facilitator accompanies the directions with a metaphoric story. Each story links forming the string and the resulting figure to a message about a positive way to approach a life challenge, or a way to build healthy relationships. (1 to 3 hours)
