This Program Will Teach You How to Create Deep and Meaningful Connections!
HAI’s Authentic Communication Training (ACT) Program is an in-depth, experiential six-week online training that will equip you to build deeper intimacy in all of your relationships. With the support of our expertly trained facilitators and assistants, you’ll develop listening and communication skills that will help you relate more effectively with the people in your life.
--Developing your authentic communication skills will impact all of your relationships:
--Romantic and intimate relationships where you desire more closeness and secure connection
--Family dynamics where you want to become a better listener and support your family members to feel heard, seen and loved
--Work environments and community organizations where you are in a position of leadership striving to influence others with kindness, authenticity and clarity
You might be surprised to learn that most of us are not very good at listening. Most of us have been taught to “listen to respond” – as we listen, we are often preparing what we will say in response – and we rarely just open ourselves to receiving the other person’s words, intention, and emotional experience. In this program you will learn to “listen to understand”. This simple concept is the foundation of effective communication.
We’ll begin with the ACT Saturday online workshop, consisting of two 3-hour sessions and continue with six 2.5 hour weekly evening sessions that are a combination of continued learning and group coaching. Throughout the program you’ll also receive personal feedback and evaluation from our trained assistants. Heart-based communication (like any art form) requires learning, support, feedback and practice, and the ACT Program blends these components beautifully.
