PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Communication remains one of the top issues for employees in most organizations. Conversations Worth Having trainer certification gives you the ability to positively affect people’s lives by significantly improving communication within organizations. As a CWH trainer, you will have the tools and skills to offer both virtual and on-site Conversation Bootcamp trainings. The certification program is designed to ensure that as a trainer, you will be confident and effective. Trainers must complete the 2-day Conversation Bootcamps on Conversations Worth Having and Strategic Conversations prior to attending the 2-day CWH training for trainers.

CWH certification is an intensive, experiential learning opportunity that combines the theory, practice, and research of Appreciative Inquiry, positive psychology, and neuroscience to support the kind of communication that fuels productivity and meaningful engagement any time, any where, and in any situation. Certification requires successful completion of the 2-day CWH training for trainers’ program, an online final evaluation process, and acceptance of a professional project.
