Communication, conflict, and creative connection

with Support Act

  • ONLINE VIA ZOOM

Words can heal, reveal, or completely derail, and that applies off the page too. Communication is the lifeblood of collaboration and creative relationships… so, why does it sometimes go sideways? 

Join Support Act psychologist Dr Ash King for a free and interactive workshop that will help you decode the psychology behind communication and conflict. You will gain the knowledge and tools you need to productively navigate relationships with your mentors, editors, publishers, and creative peers.

Dr King will explore:

  • How stress and emotion can hijack clarity and lead to communication challenges
  • Why conflict, trust, listening, and feedback are the core components of connection
  • How conflict can often stem from challenges to our needs for autonomy, belonging, and competence
  • How you express yourself under pressure, and how you can adapt your communication style for others
  • The roles of trust, mindful listening, and honesty in creative collaboration
  • How you can successfully employ the Radical Candour framework in your communications

There will be time for questions.

This practical, thought-provoking workshop will help you sharpen your communication skills, deepen creative collaboration, and make navigating those tricky conversations a little less tricky — because how you communicate shapes every story you tell.

Who is this for?

  • Authors and illustrators wanting to improve their communication and conflict resolution skills
  • Authors and illustrators seeking to better understand how they can productively give and receive feedback
  • Authors and illustrators eager to improve relationships with mentors, editors, publishers, and creative peers
