Communicate in 4-D!

Communication is at the heart of many of our most pressing challenges. Communication isn’t merely what is said; it’s the foundation for meeting our core needs for safety, dignity, self-determination, and belonging. With increasing racial, gender, and neurological diversity becoming the norm in our schools, workplaces, and other spaces, we must rethink how we communicate.

Their 4-D Model of Neuro-inclusive Communication has proven effective in helping teams resolve conflicts, innovate, and reconnect across perceived differences.
