Seminars and Communication Coaching Sessions

with Stephen Cocconi

A human trapped in the confines of his own litlle box of view beliefs, viewpoints, and experiences. This set of conditions is what I refer to as Context.
 

What do you mean "No Fault Communication"?
Simple - to listen without, blame or interpretation -- to hear the intent and solve for X! Where X is the unstated or behing-the-scenes

What do you mean emphasis is on understanding, not blame?
Often, when we have differing views with another person, it is all too easy to believe that the other person is against you rather than simply disagreeing with your position. The result is an adversarial relationship which impedes people from getting what they want and being heard for their good intentions.

What you will learn in this Seminars:

  • How to distinguish the intellectual content from the emotional charge.
  • How to respond in a way that makes the person feel heard.

  • When to ask questions and when to make statements as to maximize your effectiveness.

In every communication there are four main elements operating:

  1. The data that the person needs to communicate.

  2. The person's feeling, or level of importance that an item has for him or her.

  3. The relationship to the listener that the speaker has.

  4. The underlying message not directly said by the speaker.
