Just listened and took note on some more of the main video for Week 4 of the 30-Day Reset - Active Listening!! It's marvelous. And I want to mention that I did some vocal practicing the other day to show emotion in my communication, which I learned in Week 3 (Internal Regulation). It's lots of fun!! Next, I'll record myself and see where I can improve that way :)

I am so grateful for A - Active Listening in The A.L.I.C.E. Method today... I have been engaging with an inner conflict, with my brother holding space for me, about a GIFT that I gave him, of all things! Isn't this strange? Luckily, he actually studied Communications. He has a Master's degree in it. I accidentally and unfairly involved him in some things that were completely and utterly mine to personally explore and sort out. They had nothing to do with him. I'm humbly blessed that his own inner work has refined him into a person with amazing capacity for non-judgment and emotional intelligence. He loves conflict resolution. I wanted to share here that Active Listening has been absolutely miraculous in ensuring that we can navigate this matter peacefully and carefully. I care a lot about him! I just wanted to express how grateful I am for all that I'm learning here about communication, and how I've been able to apply these practices to work through an intrapersonal conflict that accidentally became interpersonal because of gaps in my own (self)-awareness and skill 💔❤️‍🩹 I have started on Week 4 (Active Listening) of the 30-Day Reset right on time! Thank goodness for The A.L.I.C.E. Method! 🩵🙏

It’s happening today! Why practice active listening? Because knowing the techniques is one thing. Being able to use them in the moment—when you’re under pressure—is another. Today, we’ll practice through live roleplay so you can get better at listening, clarifying, and responding instead of immediately reacting or jumping to a solution. The goal: better conversations and better outcomes. Come ready to participate, make mistakes, and practice. That’s how we improve. 💪

We’ve had so much success using active listening and the A.L.I.C.E. Method™ that I wanted to give members a place to see it work in real time—and practice it themselves. Every Tuesday at 1 PM ET, we practice real workplace scenarios, followed by live coaching and feedback to help you communicate more clearly and accomplish your goals with confidence. Yesterday, new member @Kevin Hagemoser jumped into the hot seat. And something unexpected happened… We both thought we were listening. We both missed the most important detail. Somewhere in the role-play, one of us missed the crux of the problem. The funny part? By the end, neither of us could remember exactly what the problem was. 😅 So who stopped listening—Kevin or me? Watch the Sept. 15 replay to find out what we missed, why we missed it, and what it can teach you about active listening when the pressure is on. And next Tuesday, come practice with us. 🔥 To watch now, click the video below. To access it later, go to the Classroom tab and click “Live Role-Play Group Replays.”

Wishing everyone well in their communication journey today <3 Sometimes the challenges that we face on our path are not easy. But the magic and transformation occurs when we face them and engage with them. A phrase I came up with today: "Nothing to it but to move through it." 😉 I myself am guilty of sometimes keeping my issues to myself and trying to face life alone. But humans are supposed to face challenges together. We got this :) We'll become better communicators one conversation, speech, or presentation at a time!
