DENISE DOLAN - Life Changing Skills that Create Extraordinary Relationships

How are your relationships at home, school, work? if your answer isn't

IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

Life is a dance of masculine and feminine energies, from particles vibrating around an atom's nucleus, to the pull of the sun and the moon on our planet.

We communicate along these lines, as well, from a masculine/feminine "essence" that has nothing to do with gender or sexual orientation.

These communication traits have everything to do with "polarity" and the ability to connect with and honor each other.

Even the most experienced communicator can get tripped up without essential knowledge of these distinct perspectives that impact every personal and professional relationship.

Learn an "emotional vocabulary" and boost your "emotional IQ" to clearly express yourself in ways that bring out the best in you and in those around you.

With practice, you can easily meet your needs and the needs of others without frustration or manipulation. The quality of your relationships will shift dramatically.

LIVE WITH AUTHENTICITY & PURPOSE

Living from a place of authenticity provides inner clarity and freedom that few ever get the chance to experience or appreciate. Learning to discern and choose between the “authentic self” (who you really are) and the “conditioned self”

(who society says you should be) opens you to making clear life-affirming decisions that enliven and illuminate your inner and outer relationships.

Living authentically requires guts and is an invitation to develop inspired will and self-esteem. We are immersed in a culture with pressures and distractions that do not always encourage us to live with meaning and purpose.

The decision to honor your authentic self is a process of learning an emotional vocabulary combined with communication skills

that instill confidence, revitalize your well-being, and transform your relationships, as you make choices that bring you alive.

COMMUNICATE CLEARLY TO MANAGE AND RESOLVE CONFLICT AT HOME, WORK, OR SCHOOL

Most of us share the same universal needs and values for food, clothing, shelter, a sense of belonging, purpose, a life built upon trust, cooperation, acceptance, creativity, autonomy.

However, we are frequently told that the reason we experience conflict is because we have different needs and values. Yet when looked at more closely, conflict arises between individuals or groups, not because we have different values, but because the strategy we use to get our needs met, clashes with the strategy of the other party.

Learn to:

• Use skills to recognize mutual needs and increase understanding

• Develop fresh communication skills that dissolve tension

• Become clear about what you want or need without avoiding, alienating, compromising or manipulating another

• Learn to trust yourself and your ability to communicate in harmonious ways to resolve a conflict

Intimacy and trust deepen as a result of working through conflict, while avoidance creates distance, heightens tension and distrust.

Conflict avoidance in even the tiniest of ways can erode and destroy the integrity of a meaningful relationship with a significant other, family member, friend, schoolmate, co-worker, colleague, or group.

Take this selfless opportunity to model better communication, resolve conflict, deepen trust and experience trusting, enjoyable relationships everywhere you are.
