Intentional Speaking
The Power of communicating with Awareness
Dialogues that are constructive
are shaped by Intentional Speaking.


Yet, Intentional Speaking does not happen by itself.
It is a skill that can be learned.


Intentional Speaking needs your AWARENESS:
Sometimes we speak mindlessly.
Sometimes we unknowingly avoid the real issues.
Sometimes our body language contradicts our words.
Sometimes we hurt others without realising.


Intentional Speaking needs our COURAGE to:
Risk lowering our guard.
See the validity of other people’s basic needs.
Speak our truth with consideration.



Intentional Speaking needs PRACTICE:

Speak from your personal experience.
Remember that you cannot know everything.
Respect and value other viewpoints.
Welcome other views to widen your perspective.

REMEMBER:
Your words create realities.
You can choose to practice building bridges.
