Description

Compassionate Speaking

April 11 | Noon-1pm | At CCHE & Zoom 

Partners and Facilitators: Nina McCune and Enno Limvere

Effective communication is about more than just expressing your thoughts—it’s about being heard and fostering real understanding. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how to share your perspectives in a way that invites meaningful conversation rather than putting others on the defensive. We’ll begin by revisiting one of the most challenging aspects of communication: truly listening to another person. From there, we’ll consider how to speak in a way that is both supportive and understanding, drawing inspiration from the Buddhist concept of “compassionate speaking.” This approach encourages kindness, encouragement, and an open invitation for dialogue. Through discussion and hands-on practice in pairs or small groups, participants will engage with different frameworks for thoughtful and empathetic communication, strengthening their ability to connect with others.
