Cooperative communication takes work. Conflicts happen when we start believing the stories we tell ourselves without verifying them with the other people who are involved. When we start learning how to discern and express our genuine desires and needs as well as how to listen to and understand others, the way we communicate can help deepen our connections.

Support around communication

I want to live in a world where our efforts to communicate create connection and feelings of being loved, heard, and understood. I want us to express our truth with confidence, and I want others to feel safe being vulnerable with us.  

In our work together, we can talk about what you want out of conversations with loved ones, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. We’ll also identify your strengths and weaknesses when having these conversations. I’ll teach you the Skills for Change cooperative communication model which will help you…

• Increase your ability to report events objectively and with clarity
• Build emotional resilience and spacious presence in the face of conflict, as well as hold space for the feelings of others
• Listen with compassion, shift from defensiveness to curiosity, and stop organizing around the worst case scenario
• Get clear on what you want and don’t want and enact empowered boundaries when necessary
• Collaborate more effectively and distinguish between differences and dealbreakers
• And more!
