Listening with an Open Heart
There is magic in listening well. Listening can soothe a wounded heart, open up space for our best thinking, defuse upset and anger, and restore connection when connection has been lost. The key is listening with an open heart.
Speaking with an Open Heart
Often, when we speak, people don’t hear what we wish them to hear, and the effect of our words isn’t what we hope for. And all too often, fear of the effect of our words blocks us from saying what is true for us. Fear of how we hear our own words may even block us from telling ourselves what is alive in us. The net result can be lives robbed of authenticity, vitality, and connection.
