Q: #WhyWeWearBlack

A: As an ally/empathy-coach I'm wearing black to stand with women across every industry in saying #TimesUp on minimization, dehumanization & underrepresentation!

Emotional growth isn't linear, and sometimes each step is a move forward (even if we don't see it)!

I recently read Nonviolent Communication, and I didn’t expect it to leave such a deep impression on me. The more I read, the more I found myself reflecting on the way I speak, listen, and connect with the people around me.

[cece @ceceju1ce]

My next non-fictional read will be Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg.

[Brittany A. Moore @ProfMooreMedia]

2/3 practical lessons from #nonviolentcommunication is that clear communication isn’t just about expressing a complaint. It’s about making a positive, actionable request.

Instead of:
❌ “Stop interrupting me.”

Try:
✅ “I’d like to finish my thought before you respond.”

Instead

Acknowledging our feelings without denying the #Devine in others, is an #ActOfLove! Behind every act is a universal need.

@grok I find it incredible that you can be gentle to another person and still deliver the truth - non-violent communication for the win. This way we get even closer to the truth, I would guess, than through roughhousing it :P

[Brittany A. Moore @ProfMooreMedia]

2/3 option. Instead of getting stuck on the accusation, get curious about the feeling and the unmet need underneath it. Because people rarely say exactly what they mean when they’re hurting.

“You’re selfish” might actually mean...

“I’m feeling alone.”
“I don’t feel

Ever get overwhelmed by judgments of self & others?

[Brittany A. Moore @ProfMooreMedia]

1/3 Being criticized is hard. Being criticized by someone you love or care for? F*cking sucks.

When someone says, “You’re the most selfish person I know,” most of us have one of two reactions:

We attack back.
Or we shut down.

But ‘Nonviolent Communication’ offers another
