What is empowered communication?
Empowered Communication is having the tools and skills to use a range of communication practices–from assertive to empathetic to active listening–and the self-awareness to know when to use them. It is learning about ourselves, our needs, where our triggers are, and understanding our emotional experience, so that we may communicate effectively across all contexts. It is about prioritizing our own needs while remaining sensitive and empathetic to the needs of others and having tools to manage conflict when our needs are out of alignment with the people we care about.
