Communicating effectively is the foundation of healthy interpersonal relations. We find that mastering listening skills is the cornerstone for getting our needs met.

Communication is about sending and receiving information clearly in order to both have our own needs met and meeting the needs of others. In order to do this, it is important to learn the skills inherent to giving validation and compassionate communication to one another.

At the same time, learning to communicate assertively and learning how to give good feedback become an avenue for getting our needs met.
