💅🏼 A Makeover for Your Miscommunication
Having taken the Miscommunicator Quiz, you've discovered your archetype of miscommunication and its blindspots.
(Did a friend send you this event? Take the 2-min What Kind of Miscommunicator Are You? quiz here).
Whether you’re communicating invasively or evasively, it’s time to learn about what you can do about it.
We call this north star communicating expansively, which other people experience as balanced, inviting, and connecting, rather than forceful, frustrating, or disconnecting.
About the Relating Expansively Workshop Series:
In this workshop series, you will start to shed old habits and embrace powerful communication techniques to deepen your connection with those who matter most.
We will uncover the Relational Vocabulary, a concept inspired by the esteemed psychotherapist Esther Perel.
These are ways of relating that enable you to communicate effectively and connect deeply.
Based on which type of the 4 miscommunicators you are, there will be several different relational verbs that you will need to learn in order to communicate more expansively:
🎞️ Listening
🔍 Deepening
⭐️ Cherishing
🔗 Connecting
🚪 Sharing
🌡️ Feeling
🧲 Asking
🚦Refusing
What’s critical to understand is that each verb has both Invasive and Evasive variants. For instance, 🎞️ Listening has:
Invasive: Projecting (❤️🔥 The Misguided Empath) - Creating and believing an assumption in the absence of supporting evidence, about the speaker and/or their story.
Evasive: Tangent (🤷🏻♂️ The Passively Unavailable) - Latching onto and directing the conversation towards one specific detail that may or may not be what the sharer intended to focus on.
Given that the most prevalent miscommunicator type from the quiz were ❤️🔥 The Misguided Empath and 🚽 The Constipated Avoidant, our series will spotlight these two:
1️⃣ WED 9/27: ❤️🔥 The Misguided Empath
2️⃣ THU 9/28: 🚽 The Constipated Avoidant
