Being Understood
Being understood: the key to all relationships
3 consecutive Sessions Date: see calendar dates on the right
Listening to another person’s soul into discovery and disclosure is perhaps the greatest gift one human being can give another. And the degree to which you can achieve this is directly proportional to your ability to make someone else feel understood.
This skill of making someone feel understood is the ability for you to see the other person's perspective of the world, and then to convey it back to them so they feel heard. The challenge with this is that our own heads and thoughts are often filled with our perspective of the world.
It is guaranteed that the deeper you feel connected to someone, the more you feel understood by them. And if we search out being connected more than anything else in our lives, surely this is a skill that is essential to all successful relationships, whether with work colleagues, children or your life partner?
At the end of the workshop you will be able to:- Understand what else you're communicating, even though you're not saying it.
- Understand what someone else is meaning, even though they are not saying it.
- Really experience how being understood impacts your frustration and anger levels. Hence the quality of your relationship will be impacted by you being understood.
- Take the affinity in your relationships to another level.

Testimonials
I have never before felt so empowered to actually make a difference in my relationship. I can’t believe that I studied 6 years to become a lawyer and this simple skill of communicating is something no one ever taught me. The irony is that this simple skill has doubled my client practice and annual turn over. Ben
Do you know that feeling when you have finished talking to someone and you just want to get up and hug them? A bit like that sense of being in a synergetic relationship where the other person could be your twin? Since I learnt this skill, this is what I frequently experience. Thikkam
