It was great to meet you at the workshop in Edinburgh hosted by the British Psychological Society.

I’m delighted to hear that my book has helped you navigate your way through some challenging conversations at work. Well done for finding your courage within and applying the tools.

I really appreciate you spreading the word to your colleagues so that they can also expand their capacity to talk together. Thanks also for the feedback about the print on p.140 – the publishers are on the case to get this fixed!

Very best

Sarah

anyway thanks for your assistance. I am talking to colleagues about the book and helping people re frame their work. It gets results!

“Be a heart with ears” is wise counsel indeed for a conversation.

Thanks for sharing!

Sarah

Thank you for your comment. I agree that fear is a great inhibitor to real communication. Conversation takes more courage than we realise and the benefits of having a heart-to-heart are so big that we can miss seeing those too.

Transparency is key, as you say, as is slowing down. When we take time to really make contact with each other and not just connect, it can change us and the course of our life.

Thanks for taking time to converse with me,

Sarah

I have also found that communication requires time and most people do not have the time to breath let alone communicate. Our body language says one thing and our words say another. If we could all just slow down, stop, listen and give the presence and attention a conversation requires we would all shift the level of connection we would experience.

Communication as Sarah says is the problem of our species at this time in evolution. I do not want to say we have ever communicated the way which is emerging. Some call it heart communication, some call it love, some call it truth. All these words are loaded and often come under attack. For me Transparency is required. Taking the responsibility, courage and discipline to take the step to speaking what you truly feel just as Sarah’s friend did. It is soooooooo powerful and having experienced it so many times I am enthusiastic for others to feel its benefits. The minute we confront the fear it disappears and then the realm of love and truth emerges. There is nothing to fear in this frequency. Yes you have to strip yourself bare, yes it will feel uncomfortable and difficult at times but with practice you shall reap what you sow and I guarantee you will thoroughly enjoy and benefit from this action/choice.

Of course like anything, you cannot take my word for it. You have to try it. Small steps at first and with people you feel safe with. After a while you shall build up the confidence to do it in every relationship. When this happens you will see your life change dramatically and seeing as you attract what you are, you will soon start to magnetise more of the same.

As you blossom, you allow others to blossom too.

Thank you Sarah for instigating a beautiful topic to talk about
One love to you all

I think that fear is a big inhibitor which stops conversations from happening.

The question to ask is, what’s the risk in staying silent, as well as, what’s the risk in speaking out?

When we think it through, we can see that sometimes it’s less risky to talk. The outcome is never guaranteed in a true conversation but at least we’ve engaged and stand a chance of finding some resolution.

Thanks for your reflection,

Sarah

I asked why to scary was the reply, am worried about the outcome, if the worry

was not there, what would it look like – animated comes to mind
