Conversations from the Heart
Listen to live mini-coaching moments focused on helping people connect with themselves and others by speaking their truth with kindness and compassion, and listening through new filters. Get new scripts for stuck situations, hear new ways of responding to old relationship dynamics and get guidance on how to approach these situations with empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication strategies. Here, we emphasize understanding both one's own needs and the needs of others, creating safe spaces for vulnerable conversations, and finding ways to express oneself authentically while respecting others' boundaries.
Conversations from the Heart
#57 - How Can I Get You to Be Real With Me?
We may be interested in living an authentic, honest life.
Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean those we're closest to are interested in doing the same thing.
The easiest way to encourage those around us to show up authentically is by ensuring we make that experience as easy and enjoyable as possible for them.
