Elevate your Communications, Part 3
I left you last month with the tantalizing idea that our ego creates many of our communication difficulties and we can step out of that ego self so as to focus on differentiating needs from strategies as a way to improve communication, so let’s do just that!
Elevate your Communications, Part 2
Most of us make common mistakes that shut down communication, alienate others, and foster judgment rather than empathy. I left you with the question “Okay, if what we’re doing isn’t working, what can we do instead?”
Elevate Your Communications, Part 1
As I was creating the content for this blog post, much of it initially focused on how to respond to various difficult situations that come up in communication, such as the other person choosing not to hear you, being combative, being silent.

Life Lessons Reiterated Walking in Deep Snow
We had about a foot of snowfall the other day, followed by another four inches the following day, with additional dustings here and there for good measure. Add that all up and those of us who are lacking on the vertical plane find ourselves up to our knees in the white stuff.
