The differences between people are a major source of friction. At work and at home, success and happiness depend on relating to others across a chasm of significant differences.  If you could figure out how to bridge the gap between yourself and others, you could make your life – and theirs – much easier, happier, and more productive.  How to do that is what this workshop is about. This workshop discusses how you can manage the differences in ways that enhance your relationships, increase your productivity, and add richness to your life.
