SUMMARY:HSA USA - The Story I’m Telling Myself - Observations in Compassionate Communication
DESCRIPTION:The Story I’m Telling Myself – Observations in Compassionate Communication\nTuesday\, October 14 at 1:00pm PST\nThis is the first in a three-part series exploring the OFNR model (Observation\, Feelings\, Needs\, Requests) from Non-Violent Communication. \nHow we communicate at work can make or break relationships\, collaboration\, and trust. Sometimes\, it’s not what happened that causes tension\, it’s how we interpret what happened. \nJoin us for a free\, one-hour interactive webinar where we’ll explore how to pause and notice what’s really happening—what we can actually see or hear—without adding judgment or evaluation. As part of Compassionate Communication\, this practice is called making observations. This small but powerful shift can help reduce misunderstandings and support working together with greater clarity\, care\, and compassion. \nIn this session\, you’ll: \n\nLearn the difference between observations and evaluations\, and why it matters for understanding and trust\nExplore how our interpretations can block understanding and connection\nPractice turning evaluations into clear\, grounded observations to support moving forward with care and purpose\nAccess tools and resources to help you apply this learning in everyday conversations\n\nReserve your spot today — it’s free! \nHave questions? Email us at holly@helensandersonassociates.com.
