Continuing last year's success, the WiFA Networking committee is pleased to announce the line-up for the 2021 Edition of The Art of Persuasion series of events focused on PERSUASION, the art of connecting with others through communication to lead to better understanding and positive change. It is often described as the 'art' of persuasion because it does not follow a formula, it must be practiced in the moment. Understanding more about this can not only help you learn to influence others, it can also help you to influence yourself to make the changes you want.

Details for Event 1

Speaker: Kern Beare

Title: Difficult Conversations: the Art and Science of Working Together

Overview:

Talking to people we disagree with can be fraught with fear and anxiety — triggering our fight or flight survival drive. We fight by arguing to win, or we flee by avoiding the person and the conflict altogether. But to heal a divide, we need to move beyond this ancient instinct and access our capacity for connection, creativity, and compassion. Join us to hear from Kern Beare, of The Difficult Conversations Project, about how we can do so.

Date: Tues 9 November 2021

Time: 12 noon HK time

Format: Zoom

Please register on or before 4 Nov(Thu). A custom link will be sent through reminder emails prior to the event.

Difficult Conversations, the book, is available from Amazon in both print and e-book.

Kern Beare is a former Silicon Valley communications professional with deep roots in the fields of interpersonal communication and conflict resolution. He leads non-profit seminars and workshops on how to heal relationships and unleash our capacity for creative collaboration.

Kern’s work in this field began in the 1980s, at the height of the Cold War, when he received a two-year fellowship from the Beyond War foundation, a fellowship that led to running educational programs on the obsolescence of war in the nuclear age and the imperative of learning to resolve conflict without violence.

In the 1990s, Beyond War became the Foundation for Global Community, extending its mission to include social and environmental issues. He served on the board of the new organization and helped to develop an expanded offering of educational workshops.

In the early 2000s, Kern co-founded Global MindShift, a nonprofit enterprise that offered facilitated online workshops on the essential skills we need to survive and thrive in today’s interconnected and interdependent world.

In 2016, following the U.S. Presidential election, Kern launched the Difficult Conversations Project, an initiative to help address our national divide.

Kern holds a BA in psychology from the University of California at Los Angeles. He and his wife Amy have two grown sons — Joseph and Will — and live in Mountain View, California.
