What is the Art of Communication?

The ways we think about and communicate with each other daily so often lead to conflict, resentment, and friction. For many people relationships feel flat, lacking inspiration, energy, and meaningful connection. They drain our batteries rather than charging us. Whether with children, employees, partners, or even ourselves, we can resort to sticks and carrots, guilting, shaming, and shoulding, in a self-fulfilling sense that it’s the only way anything will get done. While this seems ‘natural’, in fact it is more a reflection of the standard SOS (societal operating system) than what evolution intended (thriving through connection and collaboration). This SOS is so ubiquitous and deeply ingrained that we may not recognize it and may so rarely encounter an alternative that we don’t know one exists.

Fortunately, there is another way.

The key is a radically different approach to relating that puts our nervous systems in a state where we feel that we’re on the same team. This is a way into connection that doesn’t depend on agreement and isn’t about being ‘nice’ rather than real. And there are maps and skills to be learned that make this readily available.

How will your life be different when you have more enjoyable closeness, efficient collaboration, and confidence about moving through conflict to connection?

I invite you to join this free webinar to get a taste of this approach.
