Saying What you mean. Communicating with authenticity.

My son wanted to go and stay for the weekend with a friend. Now, for various reasons, it wasn't something that I really wanted him to do, mainly because the parents and I are not aligned on curfews and certain things that for me are limitations for my children that are not for theirs. And even the fact that this kid drives, but he's not really like a good driver

The example that you use with your kid, I think, is so good because that's really like, taking it, I don't know, a step further with not only explaining that you didn't want him to go by explaining why and alternatives that you guys could do together. Because I feel like that's where, I don't know, the bonding and the growing together happens because you're allowing a conversation to flow

Hello and I am listening to your swell cast for the first time and I must say this is a wonderful topic. Communication is a very lost art form on this earth earth at this moment. There are so many things going on where there's miscommunication of factual data, especially when we toss in social media platforms where everybody is taking it and interpreting it in a different fashion. Here's the thing about communication

Wow, I think this is awesome. First of all, just cause I know I want to have kids, and I've done a lot of nannying and like, working with younger kids, and I feel like it's prepared me really, really well for what it will be like to have children and deal with children. But I've last dealt with teenagers, and I think when you said that you decided to just give him really clear authenticity answer

She was a new manager fresh out of college, and she was really struggling with just being able to convey any message to her team that was not leaving question in it. She was just very poor at having confidence. And I had her read. Girl stop apologizing. And then I started giving her feedback on her calms that she was sending out just any comms. I just give her random feedback

And now every time I hear or someone else say I'm sorry, I'm like, don't be sorry. Be anything else but sorry. So I love that you brought that up, and I will definitely be looking into that book. Thank you
