Compassionate Communication During Conflict 45-Minute Workshop
All great relationships have conflict on some level. Who we choose to be when conflicts arise is something that is 100% in your control.

Anchors:
Lock in Your Vision
In life coaching, anchors are physical or sensory reminders that help you stay connected to your vision and goals. They act as cues that ground you in the mindset or emotional state you want to maintain, making your intentions more tangible and present in daily life. Anchors can incorporate your five senses—like a specific scent, sound, touch, taste, or visual symbol—to evoke the feelings or motivation linked to your vision. By repeatedly engaging with these sensory cues, anchors reinforce your commitment and help you stay focused, especially during challenging moments, by bringing your desired outcomes to the forefront of your mind.

Mental Rehearsal: What It Is and Why It's Helpful
Mental rehearsal involves vividly imagining yourself responding to a situation in a specific, desired way. It’s like a mental practice session, creating neural pathways that make the actual experience feel more familiar. This technique helps you anticipate challenges and refine your approach, boosting confidence and reducing anxiety. By mentally rehearsing positive responses, you can train your brain to adopt these behaviors naturally, making compassionate communication easier in real-life interactions.
