Tools I share on Communication:
When we are in a situation that we have trouble communicating, let's identify -
Feelings
- How are we feeling?
- Identify the emotions?
- How does it feel in the body?
Needs
- What are our feelings telling us regarding our needs?
- What do we need to do to fulfill our values/needs?
- Can we communicate that clearly and specifically?
Listen
- How do we really listen to others or how do we know that we are heard?
- Listen to the feelings and needs of the other person and what they are requesting
- Be present with the person
Speaking
- Think about what we really want/need before we speak
- Make a very clear and specific request through sharing our feelings and needs
- Allow others to know it is not a demand and that they are free to choose their actions
- Respect if others are not able to follow our requests and come back to focus on what we can do for ourselves to make better next time
Different Languages
- People have different love languages
- People have different mindsets/life experience, therefore may see things different
- People often project what they know, so not take things personally
- Practice observation without making a judgement or evaluating help us identify the different "language each person may have" without jumping into conclusions that alienate us
Practice
- Identify our feelings and fundamental needs (basic needs, not strategy to obtain the needs!)
- Be honest, loving and accepting to ourselves, therefore to others
- Listen with attention - to your own inner self and to others
- Speak with courage, respect and presence
- Active look for creative solutions with a sense of humor
- Follow our joy - happiness is a compass!
Tesitmonials
“Naya is a truly talented educator and actress I’ve ever met. It’s been such a pleasure to learn and get inspired from her passion and practical knowledge in communication and expression. I feel more confident in expressing myself to a large group of audience now. Her beautiful soul is contagious as well.” H. Young., UX Designer at Yahoo!
I went to a presentation skill training with Naya. She taught practical tools to implement in our daily life. I was fortunate to have private coaching session and she helped me to correct my body posture and way of talking which I have been using and improved every presentations I made since then. I highly recommend her if you’d like to improve your presentation skills, have a happier life and be more in control of your life direction. J. Hsiung, Financial Adviser
