Basye Coaching Call

I'm learning so much from Basye. Personally, she's a pretty cool lady.

In a previous call with her, we talked about a few good ideas about communication, which I immediately implemented the next day. The most important thing she taught me is awareness toward what other's are saying, being more sensitive to what I say and how it might be perceived by others.

My original notes:

• Look at the world you created right now.
• Sensitivity to the conversation? In tune to what people say, sensitive to violent communication. Questioning assumptions. Sensitive and bring people / alert people to when they are becoming insensitive.
• Marshall B Rosenberg --> nonviolent communication. Not Sarcasm.
• How people communicate as not to hurt feelings. How to move forward.
• Interactivity, not one-way.
• "Facilitating growth of people." Facilitate growth. Nonviolent Communication Guides by Marshall B. Rosenberg

In a conversation last Sunday evening, we talked about effective and appropriate conversation and how politeness and power gets in the way of effective conversation.

My notes from that conversation:

• Effective and appropriate, politenesses gets in the way? Powerplace prevents dialog and people stay in politeness power.
• Not appropriate. Communication competences which common in communication books.
• Internal attribution, external attribution. Negative expections attribution.
