Most of the communication techniques we have learned in our lives focus on the words we use and our body language. While these are important aspects of communication, they do not encompass the full spirit of what it means to communicate effectively.

We were taught to read and write but not how to relate. We were taught to speak but not how to connect through language. Healthy, impactful communication requires a lot more than using "I" statements and counting to ten when we're upset. It requires an attitude adjustment.

Most of us walk through life fearing that we will say the wrong thing or have our intentions misunderstood. In an increasingly “offended” society, these fears are well-founded.

But what if there is another way to communicate that will enable us to speak our minds fearlessly? What if we could completely transform our relationships by simply changing the way we understand what it is to communicate?

This guide challenges you to see that your words are often less important than you think. You’ll find out what strippers, Wayne Dyer, Marcus Aurelius, Aretha Franklin, and media relations professionals all have in common.

From how to make someone feel truly seen and heard to managing a boundary pusher, each of them has a valuable lesson to offer which I share with you in this short guide.
