This episode discusses the importance of energy and intention in conversations to foster empowering dialogue.

The hear the words and sense the frustration or calmness you bring to the conversation. If you walk into a conversation: rushed frustrated defensive or in “gotcha mode” …it doesn’t matter how perfect your script is. The bridge won’t hold. What if you chose to slow down with: curiosity calm care intention Then, I think you create something powerful, space to build a bridge, and space for an empowering conversation. ...a..n..d.. from there everything shifts.
