It's EPISODE 100 of the PODCAST!!!!
This week's episode is all about improving your communication skills.
Do you struggle to get your point across? Are you constantly experiencing some sort of friction with people in your life or work? Maybe you wish people would listen to you more?
I hear you!
The good news is that effective communication is a skill, it's one you can learn and once you master it, it'll change the way you interact with everyone in your life. Learning to communicate with patience and kindness has been a journey for me and in this episode I share the strategies I've implemented to vastly improve my relationships AND get my needs met in the process.
Episode highlights:

• Listening to understand, not simply to respond
• How learning to really hear what someone is saying will deepen your connection
• Being mindful of non-verbal cues and what body language reveals
• The enormous value of using "I" statements when communicating your feelings and needs
• How and why to ask open-ended questions
• The art of patience in conversations
• How to stay present in the moment when you're talking to someone
• Why being direct is important
• Reflecting back what you've heard to ensure you've understood what's been said
• The art of coherent communication

Mis-communications and missed communication comes up frequently in my client coaching sessions. We often interpret what someone has said to us through the lens of our own perceptions and world view which can cause confusion. I help my clients to communicate clearly and calmly when they are both speaking and listening.
Clear, compassionate and kind communication is a skill I love helping my clients develop and it's a game changer, so if this is something I can assist you with, please pop me an email to find out more - [e-mail]
