Tools for clear, respectful, authentic communication

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi there Reader,

If you’re a team leader, you’re probably putting surreal pressure on yourself to juggle office drama, deadlines, and budgets perfectly (and then feel guilty if you don’t).

It leaves you feeling lonely and exhausted.

You wish you could stay calm and confident, restore team peace, and get the job done effectively and promptly.

If this resonates, join me for my upcoming online workshop “From drama to direction: Effective team communication for caring leaders”. It's next Tuesday March 17, 19.00-21.00 EET.

The tools you’ll be getting will help you with, but are not exclusive to, the workplace. You can apply them to instances of friction, disagreement or conflict with your family, friends or partners.

I teach them regularly in my 1-2-1 sessions too and have helped clients get unstuck whenever they've felt overwhelmed and lost, not knowing how to express what they needed to.

To book, click here.

Here's what people have said about the workshop:

"Very tangible tools, and much needed quiet time and space for reflection and sharing!"

"The workshop exceeded my expectations. It is not a seminar on how to communicate better in the context of the film industry, but in general, in our lives."

"Elena's workshop gave me tools to improve my skills […], helping me be more clear and precise on my needs, preventing conflicts. I especially value the techniques for de-escalation and reconnecting with my core values when tensions arise."

Love,

Elena

Practice on your own!

Try these 3 practices to improve

your communication skills

Do these in your everyday life. With your friends, partner(s), or the grocer when you're shopping. See it as an experiment.

1 Listen, like a quiet sponge. Stop speaking. Stop thinking. Absorb the other person.

2 Observe, like a fly on the wall. Your own reactions. The person’s expressions. The space between you. If you watched the interaction from a distance, what would you notice?
​

3 Ask questions, like a curious geek. The more, the merrier (sic). As if the other person is your favorite subject.

Play around and see what comes up!

"You will rarely outperform your self-image" - James Clear If you were to take a moment and look at yourself as if you're a fly on the wall, leaving all your usual judgments on the side, what would you see? What can you set aside for a minute that's been part of your self-image, something that's been causing insecurity and self-doubt? What can you notice instead? How does that change your self-image? Not to outperform yourself, but to feel more complete, kind and loving to yourself?...

Hi there Reader. What makes us, us? Is it the things we have, the people, or the environment we're surrounded by? Is it our body? Or our soul? If consciousness is subjective experience, what is it made of? And if we tap into a collective consciousness, what's the relationship? Perhaps it's not so much a question of what we are but of how we be. How do we occupy the space that we inadvertently are? Inside, around us and in between. Having said all that, thank you for being part of my space....

Hi there Reader. Today I’d like to address that part of you that has been judged for being: Too much Too loud Too talkative Too opinionated Too angry Too beautiful Too ugly Too afraid Too accomplished Too strong Too poor Too rich Too sensitive Too happy Too fat Too boring Too weird Too different You know which one is true for you. Can you see that part, or is it isolated somewhere far away? What are you telling yourself about it? To what lengths do you go to to prevent it from being noticed?...
