1. Making Your New Year's Resolutions a Reality! | |
|
|
|
|
In January it's traditional to make New Year's resolutions. You plan to go to the gym, get into great physical shape, earn more money, improve a troubled relationship, or get along better with your family members. |

2. How to Start Living Your True Potential: Steps to Move beyond Judgments and Live Your Best Life in the New Year | |
|
|
|
|
Do you ever find yourself in the same emotional landscape over and over again? Okay, sure, the scenery and faces around you might be different, but the way you feel — a tangible sense of dissatisfaction — seems all too familiar. Could it be Deja vu? Karma? A result of your childhood?

3. Setting New Year's Resolutions You're Likely to Meet | |
|
I’m a big believer in the idea that we’re all a work in progress. I also believe our family — whatever shape it comes in — can be an exceptional source of inspiration and support in our continued self-improvement. The beginning of a new year offers the opportunity to reflect and set goals for self-improvement. Resolutions can be a great motivator...... |

4. The Importance of Communicating About Climate Change Nonviolently | |
|
One of the failures of the environmental movement over the last 50 years has been thinking that if we simply give people enough information and data, that that will motivate them into action. |

5. Sitting With Not Knowing: Entering the Spirit of Nonviolent Communication | |
|
As we approach the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere with the Winter Solstice, an unconscious, more primal part of us might be wondering, “When will the days start getting longer? Will the sun actually return?” A similar kind of waiting and wondering plays out this month in different religious traditions. With Hanukkah, while they know the story, people wonder again each year, “Will the oil last?” Christmas, and the Advent, are all about anticipation: “When will the Christ child arrive?” And as the calendar approaches January 1, we wonder, “What will the New Year bring this year?”... |

6. Power Up Your Team with Nonviolent Communication Principles | |
|
Why does one startup succeed wildly while another with a similar model and talented team fails miserably? Case studies might highlight the winner’s flexible business model or responsive community management. They might point to the failure’s wasted budget or poor product planning. But, in the end, all of that boils down to communication. No matter what, the fate of every company depends on the team’s ability to communicate clearly and constructively..... |

7. How Nonviolent Communication skills help at work | |
|

Hopefully, this video will inspire you to learn more and gain some tools that you can apply to increase connection & empathy with clients as well as increase your productivity whilst making life more wonderful overall...... |

8. How To Make People Listen: We Need To Talk About Nonviolent Communication | |
|
In the professional world, vulnerability almost sounds like a dirty word. We are expected to produce perfect bodies of work that pour out of us effortlessly at the same time that the glorification of “busy” is non-negotiable – one must constantly produce, multitask, get stuff done. Productivity is meant to happen at full speed, no excuses, no time to whine or ask for help. We are supposed to be poised and collected even when we underslept and are overworked. We must keep up with the news and the new emerging technologies of everyday 2020 life. In business meetings, true feelings should never be revealed because a great professional has to have mastered their ultimate poker face..... |

What impact does music have on society? Music has the power to culturally, morally, and emotionally influence our society. Thus, the more intentional we become with the sounds, messages, and moods we create and release through our music, the more powerful we will become in making deep positive impacts. |

If we ourselves remain angry and then sing world peace, it has little meaning. First, our individual self must learn peace. This we can practice. Then we can teach the rest of the world. —The Dalai Lama |

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.”
