Episode Five: Learning to Improve Our Communication Strategy

Communication is a shared process of conveying information between people. The goal of communication is to get our needs met. When communication breaks down, it often causes resistance, defensiveness, and anger between people. By learning an improved strategy, we can learn to identify and express our needs with others in a way that can bring us closer together, achieve resolution to conflict, and increase our satisfaction in relationships. 

In this episode, we discuss the purpose of communication, we look at the ways communication breaks down, we take an in-depth look at the model of Non-Violent Communication, which provides an effective roadmap for improving our communication strategy, and we discuss several outcomes from applying a new strategy in communicating with others. 

We can learn to improve our strategy of communication, increasing our chances of having satisfying and meaningful relationships with other people.
