Meeting online via Zoom; See below for link.
Conscious Communication is a process that can help you to express yourself fully in ways that are easily heard by the people you would like to connect with. Conscious Communication involves the intention to use our power with — as opposed to over or against — one another to meet universal needs. We study this process to stay present to each other and establish a connection in which everyone’s needs are valued. Come and see if this is a practice you would enjoy!
Inspired by Marshall Rosenberg’s technique called Nonviolent Communication, and Robert Gonzales’ Living Compassion, this process:
- Is simple and doable. There are four simple steps. We cover 2 principles and 2 parts to the process. We learn express ourselves clearly in ways that will invite cooperation from others and help everyone to recognize that we are essentially ‘on the same team.’
- Can be used with anyone. Whether you are talking to your boss, your child, your co-worker, your client, your partner or friend – you use the same skill set to express yourself and listen.
- Is complete and adaptable. Whether you are interested in more productive feedback sessions with a boss or employee, connecting with a loved one or client, working with anger or overwhelm or expressing and receiving gratitude or forgiveness, these skills can be adapted to any situation in which talking is part of the solution.
