Communication Skills to Grow and Strengthen Your Relationships

• Empathic Awareness Skill – recognizing your inherent value and dignity as a person as well as the inherent value and dignity of the person you are communicating with. This respectful perspective is the foundation for good and effective communication.
• Empathic Listening Skill – often referred to as Active Listening, Reflective Listening, Power Listening, and Intentional Listening. How to listen in a way that you accurately understand what the other person is saying and meaning such that they feel truly heard and understood by you, especially on an emotional topic.
• Empathic Speaking Skill – how to say what you want to say in a way that accurately expresses your thoughts and feelings, and at the same time increases the likelihood that the other person will be open to hear and receive it, whether it’s a pleasant and agreeable topic or not.
• Empathic Dialogue Skill– putting the above skills together to create effective dialogue on virtually any topic.
