I want to share with you this powerful video from Chen Miller. I’m so moved by it. She is a teacher who had a boy in her class who hissed and spat and seemed really angry. Yet how she SAW him made ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Once again, it reminds me that how we SEE each … Read more
Do you find it hard to say “No” to requests… and instead do you hear the words “yes” coming out of your mouth even as you feel your heart go heavy??? As people move along their coaching journey with me, they find joy in discovering their true inner voice. Yet often one of the hardest … Read more
If you’ve been to one of my NVC trainings, you will have heard me talk about ‘Jackals’ – the judgmental thoughts we have about ourselves, others, and what is possible in our worlds.
