Do you replay past conversations that you have had? Are there some conversations that could have gone better? Or, do you rehearse conversations that you will have in the future?

In this webinar, offered as part of the U of T Hub on Ten Thousand Coffees networking platform, we will hear from communication science expert Dr. Haesun Moon (PhD 2021 OISE) who will introduce a very simple and practical tool, called the Dialogic Orientation Quadrant (DOQ), that can help you have better conversations at work and beyond. Open to all U of T alumni.
