Safe Conversations® Training : Dialogue Facilitator September

Safe Conversations®
Training Level Two: Dialogue Facilitator

Welcome To Level Two of Safe Conversations Training!

Here’s a brief video welcome from Harville and Helen to set the stage!

After your deep dive into Safe Conversations theory and integrating Safe Conversations into your own life and relationships, you’re ready to extend your capability to facilitating others. Level Two will equip you with the skills and confidence to Lead Dialogue in every setting. Founders Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt will guide you to deepen your practical knowledge base, and prepare you to bring Safe Conversations to your work and world.

About Level Two: Becoming a Safe Conversations Facilitator 

You will have 30 days to complete Level Two in a hybrid / part-digital, part-live training process. Level Two begins on the first day of the calendar month and you’ll be engaged in a 3-part training process:

1 – Self-Guided Learning 

Watch 12 content modules, teachings and demonstrations led by Drs. Harville Hendrix and Helen LaKelly Hunt, to expand on the theory, ideas and practice of Safe Conversations. After each module, you’ll complete a practical assignment to apply the ideas in your own facilitative practice. Be sure to have your Level One Journal or Notebook ready, as you’ll continue to reflect on your growth and experiences – this time as a leader rather than a practitioner.

The LMS is designed to be self-paced, but you’re encouraged to start NOW. Video segments run approximately 20-40 minutes each. Allow more time after each segment for reflection, writing and practice.

2 – Practical Assignments

In Level Two, the real learning happens in practice. Each Module includes a practice facilitation, in which you will invite and lead others in the Safe Conversations Dialogues. The people you choose do not need to know Safe Conversations, but spend some time in advance to explain what Safe Conversations is and how it works. Tips for on ramps are included in the Modules.

You’ll want to practice facilitating Dialogue Pairs in all kinds of relationships – intimate partners, family members, friends or colleagues, to get a variety of experience in facilitating Dialogue.

3 – Weekly Cohorts

You and your training peers will meet on Zoom with Senior Safe Conversations Mentors to practice facilitating the four, core Safe Conversations Dialogues. The feedback you receive in Cohorts is essential to your growth, and attendance is mandatory to receive your Level Two Certificate.

If you have not done so, register now to attend the 2-hour Cohort meetings using the link below.

Level Two Cohorts will follow the unique Safe Conversations Feedback Process. You’ll learn more about this process in Module One.

Be Sure to Continue your Zero Negativity Challenge

Harville and Helen have become increasingly certain that a commitment to Zero Negativity is Non-Negotiable for Relational Competency. Revisit the 30-Day Challenge you completed during Level One, and renew your commitment. Consider investing in the expanded Path to Zero Negativity for more focus. (Click here to subscribe.)

There will be Zero Negativity checkpoints throughout Level Two.
