Better Communication at Work and Home: 4 Tips You Can Use Today

Because nobody likes reactive or awkward conversations.

In this episode, I’m diving into the myths and pitfalls of communication and sharing the science and coaching tools that actually help us connect.
You’ll hear why words aren’t the whole story, how body awareness can stop reactive conversations in their tracks, and why presence is the most underrated communication superpower.

You'll learn:

• Why clarity doesn’t equal agreement (and how this shows up in everyday life - including my life on LinkedIn - yikes!)

• The dangers of reacting vs. responding (and how to pause in the body)

• Simple coaching tools like looping back, reflecting, and naming the point of the conversation

• How nonviolent communication transforms “you always” into real connection

• Why presence makes conversations magical

I'll also offer 4 simple tools that you can use in your conversations today.  These are communication techniques I teach in my group coaching programs and with my private coaching clients.  All yours for the taking!

And… a teaser! As you know, one of my favorite tools for self-growth and communication is the Enneagram. Each of the nine types or "energies" has unique communication strengths and blind spots, and I’ll cover all of them in my upcoming free live training. Save your spot for this free training here:
