The 2020 Spring cohort for “LevelUp” is officially open and I am beyond excited to bring 10 new people through this program and empower you to become the a master communicator unlocking connection, compassion and motivation to live your best life.
Assertive communication is one of the most vital skills to live a life in line with our values and without being overly guided by fear, shame and problem-saturated narratives put on us from the time we are young. It is also one of the biggest struggles we face personally and professionally. Implicit biases, stereotypes and cultural expectations have forced many of us into roles of passive, aggressive and avoidant communication styles. This is increasingly more present as we look to the impact of our intersecting identities including race, body size, age, etc.
Becoming a more assertive communicator will allow you to be direct and reflect confidence, set boundaries and communicate from a place less driven by emotion. By the end of this course, you will be able to do the following:
Understand your shame narrative and the effects this had on your communication style and type.
Understand the impact of our thoughts, feelings and behaviors in our everyday communication both with ourselves and others.
Ascertain the skills necessary to say “NO” when you want to and to fill your time with people, places, thoughts and ideas that add value to your life.
Create a clearer understanding of how your intersecting identities have effected your communication style and develop skills necessary to work within and past the norms around them.
Give and receive feedback more effectively and without defenses.
Use technology more effectively and in ways that support your goals, intentions and dreams rather than promote your shame narrative.
