What if every awkward silence, every emotional hijack, every misstep can be used as stepping-stone to circle back to a conversation?  To reconnect.  To build trust, not erode it.

What if "failed" moments aren't actually failures at all, but are simply part of a natural, generative learning process?

Today, we examine moments that feel like failures at the time, but are actually opportunities for greater connection with ourself and others.

We explore:

• 1:01   Intro thoughts
• 2:40  How can I incorporate NVC tools at work?
• 3:45  Step 1:  Observe
• 7:20   The most powerful thing you can do when you're in a position of power
• 14:43  'm angry.  What can I do?
• 23:45  How can I stop judging my family?
• 31:07  A script for revealing ourselves in small ways
• 39:53  Q&A
• 51:10  Closing tips and practices

For ongoing practice and deeper learning, I warmly invite you to become a member of The School of Human Connection. 

Twice a month, I host live calls where members bring real relationship dilemmas. We slow things down and I'll help you see what's actually happening and how to respond with more integrity, strength and care.

You will find a safe space for live discussions and a supportive community of like-minded, open-hearted humans.
