How can you communicate more effectively in your relationships? Start by accepting that you have no control over anyone else. You only have control over yourself, and that means being fully and authentically responsible for how you communicate.

Your feelings, thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and experiences effect how you show up in your relationships.

Are you taking what someone says personally? Are you taking responsibility for what comes out of your mouth? Are you playing the victim? Do you get caught up in tit-for-tat arguments?

  • The problem with personalizing.
  • Playing the victim.
  • Knowing what your wants and needs are.
  • Speaking up for your needs.
