Description

The truth, though, is that you don't have to understand how Compassionate Communication works. You just have to do it. During this presentation, Liliam will walk the audience through this process to help them gain an awareness of their own emotional states and the emotional states of others. “When you give other people the gift of your attention and empathy, it makes them feel understood and they become more open to hearing what’s on your mind.” Dr. Michael Nichols Based on the research work of Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark Waldman, Liliam Llanos shares a powerful strategy called Compassionate Communication that allows two brains to work together as one. Using brain scans as well as data collected from workshops given to MBA students at Loyola Marymount University, and clinical data from both couples in therapy and organizations helping caregivers cope with patient suffering, Newberg and Waldman have seen that Compassionate Communication can reposition a difficult conversation to lead to a satisfying conclusion.
