Sun, 11 Aug 2024 20:34:15 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Top 10 Things Not To Do https://allysonblythe.com/courses/top-10-things-not-to-do/ Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:42:08 +0000 https://allysonblythe.com/?post_type=lp_course&p=7337 There is incredible power in the words you speak; like a chemistry project in which you add a little bit of this mixed with a little bit of that to see what kind of reaction you will get. In communication, you select a few words, combine it with tone of voice, energy, body language, and eye movement and voila… a powerful elixir creating the potent dose of connection and understanding or the most explosive encounter imaginable.

 

In theory, communication seems like the easiest, most simple thing you would ever do. You say a few words, make a few points, wait for a reply when necessary, and proceed with your day. Equally, someone speaks to you and their words register easily and effectively, you reply if needed, and go along with your business. Yet, we all know it doesn’t really happen like that. The simplest conversation can lead to deep confusion, jumbled plans, hurt feelings, and betrayal of safety and trust. So, what happens that derails communication? Why in the world does communication become so challenging and ineffective? Where do things go dreadfully wrong?

 

During this course, you’ll gain insight into some of the communication patterns that contribute to this derailment. You’ll likely spot some of your own behavior. You may use these patterns with strangers, co-workers, family members, friends, and intimate partners. Perhaps these are the only ways you’ve ever known to express yourself. Further, you may detect these patterns in others personally, professionally, and socially.

 

Often times, these styles of communication are habitual, well-rehearsed, and deeply ingrained in your lifestyle, thoughts, and words. Though these strategies are the norm of communication, they contribute to conflict, misunderstanding, and overall hurt and frustration.

 

Awareness is your starting point. Pay attention to your approach, word selection, and feelings that are driving your conversations. Learn to tune your ear to recognize the following patterns will empower you to change these destructive styles. Awareness keeps you in the driver’s seat to take responsibility for your needs, be intentional about the message you are conveying, and effectively navigate the course of communication.

    ]]>         The Art of Effective Communication https://allysonblythe.com/courses/the-art-of-effective-communication/ Mon, 03 Jun 2024 10:47:15 +0000 https://allysonblythe.com/?post_type=lp_course&p=7347

    Once you purchase this program, you will be able to log into the member’s area on the top menu and take the course. There are a total of 9 videos.

    Are you struggling to communicate with others? Do you find yourself in the same conflict over & over again? Do you get in your own way and often feel confused about what you want?

     

    Just imagine self-awareness that allows you to understand and honor your true needs, relationships that are centered on compassion, understanding, and respect, and a world strengthened by inspiring communication and connection… It is possible!

     

    Many years ago, I was trained in the work of Marshal Rosenberg, creator of Non-Violent Communication (NVC), and became fascinated with the ease and effectiveness of this tool. I’ve taken all of this training and combined it with my 25+ years of experience to create this informative and interactive workshop. Your insight and skill level will change as you are equipped with a powerful, easy to grasp three-step tool that allows you to improve self-awareness, understand deeper needs, and finally communicate more effectively.

     

    The Art of Effective Communication offers an alternative way of thinking, communicating, and relating to others. It is a simple method, just three simple steps, of insight and awareness that ends patterns of sabotage, hostility, assumptions, defensiveness, and resistance.

     

    Interested in implementing this tool at work? Do you have a small group that could benefit from this type of growth and understanding? Contact me and we’ll plan a workshop they’ll never forget!

    ]]>         Conscious Conversation https://allysonblythe.com/courses/conscious-conversation/ Fri, 20 Oct 2023 23:30:12 +0000 https://allysonblythe.com/?post_type=lp_course&p=6549
  • Do you find yourself floundering in life or in conversation with others?
  • Are you working against yourself?
  • Do you struggle to communicate clearly and effectively?
  • Are you having the same conversations over and over but not getting anywhere?

    •  

    How many times have you gone to the fridge or the cupboard without knowing what you’re hungry for and just started nibbling? Not really sure what you’re really craving, you just start picking and grazing, trying to fill a desire you haven’t quite identified.

     

    How often are you doing that in life? You’re doing things, buying things, saying stuff, going places, trying to satisfy a need you can’t really understand. How often have you made one decision only to realize you’ve compromised other things you hadn’t even considered?

     

    You are not alone. I see it all the time, people working against themselves, randomly doing or saying things with no awareness of what’s happening or what they really want and need. People aimlessly wander through life with no understanding of what’s driving them or how they can take responsibility for the quality of their lives. A perfect example is someone who wants to be heard, so they yell and scream in order to get their point across, using a method that almost guarantees they’ll never be heard. We’ve all done it in some fashion.

     

    Let me help you put a stop to it!

     

    It’s so simple and yet so profound.

     

    During this workshop, I’ll introduce you to a simple three-step model that helps tune you into core needs that drive your behavior. You’ll learn about basic human emotions that can be used as cues and indicators to deeper needs and put clear, concise language and understanding to these. I’ll help you look at how you’ve been sabotaging and how to put an end to that immediately!

     

    Conscious Conversation is a simple yet power-packed opportunity to take responsibility for the health and quality of your mindset, behaviors, and relationships. It changes the way you show up in the world, in conversations, and when relating to others.
