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.

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.
