For the next few weeks, we're going to talk about communication.

These are lessons that I've learned as a sign language interpreter that I would love to share with you.

This can be used to communicate with...

• co-workers
• family
• friends

Or you can apply it in any situation where you're going to have an important discussion or tough conversation.

The first technique I've learned is to read the room.

You can sense when you're walking into a situation and it's not great. You can feel the energy.

Even though you might be in a really good mood, keep this in mind when you approach the person. How are they feeling?

• Are they stressed?
• Are they scared?
• Are they happy?

You can use this awareness to shape how you are going to approach the situation.

It's about energy. By tuning into the other person, you know how to begin the conversation.

Next week, we're going to talk about how to speak their language.

Ready for a fun challenge?

I'm reading the book E-Cubed and it has a fascinating 3 day experiment:

Not complaining or talking unkindly about ourselves or others.

I started this experiment yesterday afternoon. While I was driving to my job today, I found myself complaining about someone to a friend.

Soooo.....reboot! I'm starting over again.

Will you give it a try?

See how much negativity comes out about others and yourself.

This is the life we form – the energy we put out there comes back to us.

So together, let's try for 3 days. Send me a quick email if you're in.

If you have to start over, that's okay. Just reboot!

We'll not complain and talk only kindly about ourselves and others.

Good luck to me, and good luck to you!

If you're curious to look into the book, it is by Pam Grout and the full title is E-Cubed: Nine More Energy Experiments That Prove Manifesting Magic and Miracles Is Your Full-Time Gig.
