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
