To help people who help people, the organization needs to be healthy and have practices in place that consider the trauma of those they serve. Lauren Spigelmyer and Jessica Doering have helped thousands of people who help people all over the world. Each week they'll explore tools, insights, and stories to help you lead and live with more clarity, calm, and connection. If you’re looking for support as you grow your organization’s capacity for caring for staff and the community, we would love to be part of that journey.

Communicating in a Way That Gets Kids to Listen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The way that you communicate with kids directly impacts their self esteem and worthiness. So often the way that adults communicate with their own children or kids in a classroom setting is not productive.
In this episode, Lauren points to some areas that may be going wrong in your communication with kids. She walks through the areas that you can focus on to make sure that your kids are feeling heard and respected.
Plus, Lauren gives examples of communication strategies that will improve your communication with anyone in your life.
Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode: Supporting others to consider alternative reasons for a child's behavior.
