Hear Here

Description

Learning about Effective Communication and putting it to work in your life is the one thing that will change absolutely everything. When you no longer have a sense of needing to compete or be a victim, to be the winner or the loser, to manipulate or be manipulated, everything changes. Hear Here describes in detail how to listen and validate another person whether you agree with them or not. It describes how to put across what your needs and wants are in a way that does not diminish others in any way. It’s like a magic elixir for living the life you’ve always wanted. Sounds like a lot of big words, but read the book first and then put the skills into practice; tell us whether we’re overstating it or not. Hear Here is written for anyone who communicates with other humans. Put these skills to work and you will hit the jackpot of zest and life enjoyment. Lee has been leading workshops focusing on human development for 3 decades. I have worked with men and violence, Effective Communication, mediation, Reevaluation Counseling as well as many other modalities of healing. Monterey California is my home base and I’ve led many workshops there as well as Esalen Institute, Human Awareness Institute and presented at AMSA worldwide conferences, to name a few. I am married 40 years in 2021 to my best friend, Giulie. We have 3 grown children and currently 5 grandchildren (and counting). My first paid gig as an accordion player was age 11 and have spent my life as a writer and performer with two solo albums “Hummingbird” and “Leeward” to my name. Working with groups of people in Effective Communication is a passion, along with singing and playing (guitar and keyboards mostly now, although I’ve been known to drag the old accordion out from time to time). Arnie first encountered active listening in couple’s therapy. It was definitely
an improvement over what my wife and I had been doing. However,
what I discovered was that it worked well in our appointments while
the therapist was guiding the interaction and acting as referee. At
home, when a conflict arose, the active listening approach proved to be
ineffective. Similarly, all the conventional approaches tended to work
well with a third person. They tended to fall apart whenever a problem
reared its head. That is, until we studied Effective Communication and
Relationship Building with Selwa Said (sa-eed). Her teaching of
Tracking and Impact Statements gave us, for the first time, a way to
interact without the necessity of a referee. My love of the violin has allowed me to perform in many venues with many artists and orchestras. I particularly like coaching using the Effective Communication skills as well enjoy doing workshops with Lee.
