We're transitions for life mediation Let us assist in your transition to the
next phase of your brighter future - so how can you communicate more powerfully and
effectively through this transition
and the first thing is to realize of course it's very emotional time
and
emotions can be very intense so you don't want to be communicating at the height
of any
emotion
so the first step is really an awareness
in terms of what are you feeling and allow yourself
to feel that and then in terms of communicating its being clear
on what you want to get across and how do you want to be heard
and
a key for effective communication sometimes when we we're at the height of
emotion or going through a process it's to start the sentence with YOU
in terms of making the other person defensive so a real key here is to
start your conversations with I -- I feel this way -- I would like this to
happen
really creating that hundred percent responsibility for what you want
starting the conversation off with why so it's an awareness for the emotions
making sure you're not communicating during those intense times
and then being clear on what it is you want to get across
and then the third tip for effective communication is really the power of
listening
and are you really hearing the other person and what they are--
how they want to come across and what they're saying
