High Emotion
Have you ever been so caught up in a discussion that you find your voice getting louder and you start pointing more?
Have you ever been so sure of your view that you just want to shake the other person until they hear what you are saying?
Have you ever been the recipient of the behaviour in this situation? The person who is being shouted at, where the someone is just not willing to hear any other view?
It is easy when caught in the heat of the moment, to start getting worked up emotionally, but how much does it help or hinder us?
Disagreement can feel like a threat, and if we aren't careful, we can end up reacting to this threat, rather than seeing the other person and thinking of their view and thoughts.
A strong emotional response can often shut down the other person, stopping them from being able to take on the information or view you are trying to share, so what can we do instead?
What can bring the best from our different points of view and help us to work well together?
Questions.
Keep asking questions, keep your body language calm and emotions under control and you will be much more likely to hear the other point of view.
And when you are able to hear their view- the other person is much more able to hear and process your view.
Mothering Sunday
Mothering Sunday- some of us love it and some of us really struggle with it. What could it look like if we reframe it?
International Women’s Day Award
On this International Women’s Day, it is a huge privilege to receive an award from E2 media: Influential Women in Business 2024.
We celebrate all women, in all their diversities. We celebrate those who came before us, those who stand beside us now, and those who will come after.
It’s a time to celebrate the achievements of women, whether social, political, economic or cultural.
A better you?
Speaking at events can seem daunting- but we love to help people learn and grow in their confidence in this area.
This picture was Vicki recently speaking at an event in Coventry- talking about how we can grow and develop- becoming the best version of ourselves.
This can take time, money and effort, and isn't the easy path, but it is well worth it if you are prepared to pay the price.
So how about you? Where would you like to grow and become a better version of yourself?
