POSITIVE COMMUNICATION

Non-judgmental questions + active listening → positive communication.

This involves a lot more than talking.

Here are some different ways to communicate:

Words: spoken, written, sung + signed––they’re more accurate with a bigger emotional vocabulary.

Body language: facial expressions, arm positions, posture… they all show the feelings behind your words.

Reciprocity: the balance of getting to know someone else with them getting to know you… is it mutual?
