Healing Dialogues: Moving From I/You To We/Us
A two day workshop on conflict and communication with
Mike Fisher (UK) & Tiffany Stone (SA)
The success of relating between any two or more people is premised on the quality of their commun ication and how effectively each person’s needs are being expressed and heard by the other, allowing for true dialogue and the meeting of every individuals need to be truly seen and heard.
Conflict often occurs when we don’t get our needs expressed or heard clearly, or where we have created expectations which we don’t communicate clearly to our partners leaving us disappointed or frustrated. As much as conflict isn’t something that should be avoided at all costs as it is a valuable opportunity to hear perceptions as well as hear needs, it is something that can be managed so that conflict can become an opportunity for growth and understanding rather than something causing stress and distance.
In this two-day workshop we will be exploring four areas of a healthy relationship to bring greater confidence and awareness to our communication in our most valued conversations. Moving from seeing the statement “we have to talk…” as an ominous experience of fear and dread, to a welcomed opportunity for intimacy, clarity and value-creation.
The story of Jeff & Lucy:
Areas covered:
- Clear Communication: Listening, making certain you understand each other, clearly expressing feelings, no shame no blame, learning to connect through communicating clearly.
- Respect for each other’s needs: Recognising your own needs and meeting them so that you can meet another’s needs, prioritizing your needs to increase your self-esteem and reduce your stress.
- Validating each other’s experiences: Moving from Duality to embracing Zero Duality by not using words such as “should or shouldn’t”, “right or wrong”, “my fault-your fault”. Letting go of attachments.
