Laura’s introduction - Communication Queen
What did you learn about communication growing up.
Studying Buddhism and spirituality in college
Accept myself and the differences she had with other people
Benefits to us for communicating
Empowering
How can you start Communicating this way? Pattern of communicating? Wasn’t easy for her?
Terrified to start
All about the Delivery - pause - tap into your heart
Take responsibility for your feelings
New wave of dog training is emotions
What would it be like to do this? What would it feel like? - no story with this suggestion. Easier on the person.
We don’t learn how to communicate it affects us as dog trainers
Is someone going to be able to receive my feedback or not? May. Not bring it up and be in a close relationship with that person. We don’t have time for the relationships that are going to drain us.
Attract more people that will step up- become yoru highest self.
Releasing energy so it doesn’t bubble up
Victim vs predator
Settled chaos Paying you for yoru honesty -
People fall off
Afraid to hurt someone else’s feelings
Empowering other people to have their own boundaries
We aren’t going to hurt them if we tell them the truth
Open and vulnerable yourself
Armor up-
How our stuff gets in the way
Practicing communication - it’s a practice
