Wanna be an i̶n̶f̶l̶u̶e̶n̶c̶e̶r̶ advocate for positive changes in others?👀

How exactly do we empower someone to change positively? How do we persuade someone to rethink their beliefs and behaviours? This is where the art of persuasion comes into play - a technique called 🔥"MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING"🔥.

Join us for this session of Brown Bag: The Art of Persuasion, where we will share ways to empower others to change positively.

And that's a wrap! It's the end of a week of learning about ✨NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION!✨

Thanks to all of you who came for the Brown Bag Session, and for all the messages and kind words on the big love for this week's posts! A HUGE thank you to JF for the detailed and captivating presentation, you're a natural and we're grateful you decided to step into the limelight this week with such an important and relevant topic!💛

Here's a quick summary of 3 main takeaways:
1. Sometimes, we lose sight 🙈 of what we feel or need. Non-Violent Communication helps us list it out and communicate it better to others.

2. Practise empathy and extend the teachings of Non-Violent Communication to guide others to communicate their needs more efficiently too!

3. Though we cannot control others' thoughts, words, or actions, we have the capacity to control our own. Harness that control for safer relationships!

👉🏽 Swipe for more insights and tips you can use to communicate better.

See you at our next Brown Bag! Stay tuned for more info 👀

In order to reach a compromise through Non-Violent

In order to reach a compromise through Non-Violent Communication, we need to take note of 2 things.

1️⃣ Speaking 👄
The way we speak about our needs, thoughts and feelings can either be reason for conflict or can build healthy relationships with safe two-way communication.

2️⃣ Listening 👂
The way we listen to others and respond to them can affect how empathetic and warm we appear towards and contributes building social bonds. Being dismissive and perpetually annoyed can also be a form of 'violent communication'.

Our interests and priorities change as we grow. Mo

Our interests and priorities change as we grow. More than a few of us wanted to be rockstars🤘 or live the rich & famous lifestyle, but now, many of us just want to spend quiet time with our loved ones. ✨Did we become jaded and sad? Are we tired of dreaming big?✨ Or are we just changing?

It's important to spend some time to figure out the difference, get back on your horse, and keep moving forward. If your disinterest persists, it might be hinting at a larger mental and emotional struggle you're going through. Seek professional help and talk to people who could help you unpack healthily.

Shout-out to our collaborators for this post @chatfans!💛 CHAT supports young people with mental health concerns by providing confidential and personalised mental health checks, helping young people gain clarity over their situation and inspiring them to embark on their journey towards better mental health.

When was the last time you had a conversation that didn't go so well?

Communication is the foundation of all relationships. However, misunderstandings often get in the way of connecting effectively with others. Words can turn violent 👊🏼 How can we build up our self-awareness and even extend that awareness and empathy to others?

Join us for this session of Brown Bag: Non-Violent Communication, where we introduce the basics of Non-Violent Communication.

Being in a toxic work environment can consume us w

Being in a toxic work environment can consume us with negativity. Yet, we cling onto safety nets, terrified that the next step would be just as bad, or worse.

If the negativity and politics consume your thoughts day and night, and make it difficult for you to focus on your tasks, it's time to take a good look at what you're going through and try to fix it 👉🏽
