We need a new word

Mindfulness teacher, coach and communications consultant, Anne Muhlethaler explores why learning how to communicate can unlock better relationships at work and in your personal life and questions why that’s not something on the curriculum of every school and university in the world. We can all recall times when meetings or personal conversations haven’t gone to plan, resulting in not great to abysmal consequences. In this post, adapted from a talk she recently gave, Anne unpicks what happens when communication goes wrong and why we should all aim to cultivate more empathy and deep listening in our relationships both at work and at home. The key to unlock this new type of communication? A new word, one that invites a different kind of interaction, something better than 'we need to talk'. After all, words make up the world. She quotes Herman Bahr to end: “Words are not in the power of men; men are in the power of words.” *** If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, we really appreciate your support and feedback.
