You intended no harm, but someone is furious with you. Now what?

How to meet your Impact with dignity and healing:

Using a live and intense example with guest Warren Hooley, indigenous activist, educator, and Nonviolent Communication trainer from British Columbia, we offer you a radical and healing way to respond if you are faced with anger and blame because something you said or did stimulated pain in someone or a whole group of people. Especially if you care about your impact, and your intention was not to harm anyone. This is tough territory, and we want to share some inspiring insights with you. Timothy Regan hosts collaboratively with Mr. Hooley.

Warren Hooley is a half-Okanagan-Indigenous, half-Caucasian man from the Syilx (Okanagan) Territory in Penticton, British Columbia.

For the past 5 years, Warren has passionately chosen a path of intensive facilitation training, delivering workshops across BC and performing as an Inspirational Hip Hop Rapper/Beatboxer.

Today, currently living in Vancouver, Warren reflects on ‘why’ he has chosen to do youth empowerment work. He says: “I realized that I do this because it’s what my heart calls for. I wake up everyday and remember that my passion comes from my story. I used to be the very youth that I am now dedicating my life to support…it gives my life meaning…and brings me much love.” With a humble heart and passion for what he does, Warren continues to deliver youth workshops as a fun, genuine and empathetic facilitator.
