Enhancing Communication: Resources
Wise
Heart - Compassionate Communication
with LaShelle Charde
Today I had the privilege of attending a workshop on
NVC (non-violent communication). This two-hour
introductory event, entitled Compassionate
Communication, was led by LaShelle Charde.
She is a gifted, local facilitator who lovingly and
graceful guides others in clarity and connection. I
highly recommend her services to anyone who would like
to bring consciousness and compassion to relationship
and communication. Her logo (pictured above) really
visibly describes the sensation of being held in the
container that NVC provides. Check out one of her local
classes soon... perhaps I will see you there!

What's Real:
7 Keys to Authentic Communication and Relationship
Success
by Susan
Campbell
This book is another great
resource recommended to enliven communication in your
most intimate relationships. I have only scratched the
surface of its contents; however, it is rich with
tangible resources that will empower you to bring
honesty to your communications with less anxiety and
greater ease. Campbell suggests seven keys to authentic
communication and relationship
success, giving you verbal anchors
that guide a more grounded approach to expressing the
truth within your heart and mind. Examples include:
"Hearing you say that, I feel...", I am getting
triggered...", "I appreciate you for...". Each
statement is explained more in-depth so that you may
learn to create the energetic environment that will
support listening, speaking, and being heard with
purity.
