MINDFUL COMMUNICATION

Why Focus on Communication?

Effective communication directly affects how you show up in your lives and in your work. It is the way in which you build and navigate healthy, strong, and trusting relationships. In business, communication directly affects how employees and management interact amongst each other and with their customers to reach organizational goals and be more aligned with core company values. Good communication plays an important role in building trust in relationships as well as setting and managing expectations to promote more effective outcomes. It helps to improve organizational practices, eliminate silos, keep employees and customers informed, and reduce errors. Effective business communication is essential for success and growth for every organization.

This program teaches four specific communication tools to be learned and practiced, over a period of four months. It consists of two (2) 60 to 90 minute online sessions per month as well as weekly homework. The program is designed to be flexible so that participants can listen to the teachings and do the homework practices around their schedule. However, commitment to the program is very important. The workshop consists of group work in large and small group settings, as well as one on one work with an assigned partner. In this way participants will learn to communicate well in all different types of relational settings.

Testimonials

“Working with Shauna has not only increased my awareness of how I show up for others it has helped me prioritize how I show up for myself. Her singular ability to reflect back to me my own journey without judgment or control gives me a valuable touchstone in my work to clarify my intent, my needs and my future. I am a better partner, parent, daughter, friend, colleague and me for having her in my life. In the past year I have grown so much in both my personal and professional life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. In the face of some significant personal challenges, I found myself better equipped to handle them in ways that didn’t involve burning out in the service of others but valuing the time I spent being present with those I care about. I am eternally grateful to the dear friend who suggested I take that first call with Shauna, and I look forward to our work together as I continue my journey.”

Kelle Thompson (Head of Talent Acquisition Brand, Operations and Onboarding)

“I have been working with Shauna for over five years. I have now taken her communications course twice and it was amazing both times. Initially I debated whether to sign up because of the financial and time commitment. Ultimately I decided to make the investment because I wanted to actively work on my communication so I could create healthier relationships at work and in my personal life. Obviously, since I took the course a second time, it goes without saying I recommend it!

In the communications course, I learned to structure my communication differently in dialogue. As an extrovert, previously, I had often dominated the conversation. With Shauna’s coaching, I learned, and practiced, how to listen and reflect. I also learned to more effectively ask for what I need, which in my role in business, is critical.

The first time I entered into the program, I was a SVP of Sales. Listening well is an essential part of a leadership role, as is communicating in general. The skills that I learned in this program have impacted how I interact in leadership meetings, how I lead my team, and how I work with clients. It has without question, paid for itself. I had the biggest year ever at work this year and I attribute my success largely to the skills I learned in this course. I recommend it without hesitation.

“Mindful Communication is more than learning the art of clearly and authentically voicing your needs, opinions and desires. It also encapsulates the beauty of being an effective listener. One who does so in a way that vastly impacts how you show up in relationship, as a strong and influential leader at work, and as a parent helping your child navigate life and world.

My marriage and career have flourished as a result of Sacred Communication. And my relationship with my daughters is open and loving; I love watching them implement tactics I’ve learned. They do it with ease and grace and as a result of my learnings with Shauna in this program.”

April Sherman (Global Talent Marketing Lead, IBM)

“I found myself in a place where I was a career driven woman who didn’t know herself anymore. I really needed to find an outlet where I was able to self-discover again. From the moment I stepped into Mindful Communication, there was an element of trust, warmth and support that held and protected me. I found Shauna's natural ability to help guide and coach a group to be meaningful with purpose and empowering others. Shauna is an incredible leader and coach. She knows what she is doing and she fosters an environment that is safe and supportive to be vulnerable. Those that are ready for truth, exploration and to find their inner voice will be heard. Mindful communication helped me find balance and redefine my priorities in life.”
