Summary and Final Tasks

Summary

Once you become well practiced in active listening, mediating and reframing, these are skills that you will be able to use in your interactions with people in your community. One of the best ways to promote more civil conversations is by modeling that yourself. We can't control how other people communicate and engage with us, but we can become a model and inspire others to communicate respectfully with others. That can be done partly through active listening, mediating, and reframing. And again, just understanding the science of Marcellus Shale isn't enough to help people make informed decisions. Their relationships and the process are also important, and that' s where the skills you have learned in this lesson come into play.
