Powerful Non-Defensive Communication For centuries, our communication methods have been based on 'rules of war', causing us to get defensive easily, creating destructive power struggles and much needless pain - even with those we love most. We may become controlling and manipultive, even when are intentions are good. Traditional methods of communication - across many lines of race, class, and culture -create breakdowns in our intimate relationships, undermine our competence at work, and inhibit us from solving the problems we face in our local and global communities. Powerful Non-Defensive Communication gives us the ability to interact with more power, regardless how others respond. Using non-defensive skills, we can speak with honesty and compassion and open the door to real conversation that brings resolution to conflict and transforms relationships.
