We are faced with a breakdown of ‘We’ – in our fragmented communities, in our polarized media, and in our vindictive public discourse. More and more there is a feeling of separation and discord, of blame and making wrong.
Unconditional Communication is a new way of thinking about communication that causes ‘We’ to happen, and is characterized by:
- Genuine authenticity & vulnerability
- A willingness to name and deal with reality
- A willing invitation to co-create shared outcomes
and, most of all,
- The idea that our communication can be an act of service to others – rather the means to get something from others.
Unconditional Communication is thought-provoking, funny and surprising, and, above all, grounded in practical solutions for creating a better world. Together.
