So I went out and learned everything I could about how to communicate to express myself in a clear, direct, and accurate way. And after years of reading, going to lectures / seminars, and retreats I came up with a practice grounded in the elements of right speech in Buddhism that takes away the clutter, cultivates kind and calm conversations, and helps shift us out of the internal chatter and into the present moment.
In this course you'll learn:
- To speak consciously, clearly, and concisely without anxiety
- To respond instead of react
- To speak in a way that's kind, honest, and helpful
- To know when to speak and when to stay quiet
- To stay engaged when listening
- To express yourself so that others can hear you
- To nip potential problems in the bud before they become meltdowns
- To be comfortable in silence - no longer needing to fill the space
"Working with Cynthia with this program reset the way that I think about communication. It gave me a system to increase mindfulness in the everyday and gave me tools to analyze, understand and combat communication pitfalls I thought to be almost insurmountable." -Ingrid, New York, New York
"The work on communication has really stuck with me and I find myself reflecting on my communication style often now. It has helped me to pause and reframe how I feel in certain situations, especially stressful ones, and allow myself time to consider how I want to respond rather than doing so impulsively." -Madison, Oakland, CA
