Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff with Kristine Carlson

We often think about what we will say next, but how often do we think about the way we listen? Kris shares the wisdom of “empty presence listening” which means being centered and grounded with an open, compassionate heart while someone is sharing or venting to us. This technique of offering our full presence with a quiet mind allows us to become a safe container for all that needs to be expressed from the person who is sharing.  Become a world-class listener, and watch your relationships flourish!
