In these uncertain times of disruptions, vast technological and collective world changes, polarization, challenges, and trauma, knowing how to be open to what is and flexible to respond rather than react to uncertainty is one of the most critical skills needed today. When you approach life with an open stance you can observe more clearly what is present without collapsing into a stress reaction or disassociating and blaming others and/or yourself.  You will be better able to choose actions for greater impact and success.

A lot of energy is wasted because we misunderstand each other, make uninformed judgments, and have difficulty coming to agreements—causing both relationships and results to suffer.  For most of us, communicating with others is one of the most challenging aspects of our professional and personal lives. This is especially true these days when people are experiencing stress and uncertainty and there is polarization around race, gender, generational differences, political views, etc.
 
What if you could turn the desert of miscommunication that exists into an oasis where you can have refreshing conversations that allow you to understand where the other is coming from so you can develop empathy, insight and reach mutually beneficial agreements?
