1. Ep. 54 Empowered Communication with Carla Madeleine Kupe Louise Neil & Kim Romain 46:41

We’re all aware that communication is a critical component of interpersonal effectiveness.

We communicate to get our ideas across, to connect with others, to negotiate, and inspire.

And yet, many of us still struggle with our communication skills.  That’s where empowered communication comes in.  Empowered communication is a way of speaking that can help us identify shared values, encourages us to use language that increases goodwill, and avoid language that contributes to resentment or that lowers self-esteem.

It helps us focus our attention on compassion as our motivation, rather than fear, guilt, blame, or shame.

On this episode, Kim and Louise chat with litigator, legal strategist, educator, and collaborative leader, Carla Madeleine Kupe. Carla is also the founder and CEO of The Impact Alliance LLC, a diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism/colonialism consulting enterprise.

Louise Neil and Kim Romain have created a movement around finding and creating work that fits and feels good. It doesn’t matter if you work for yourself of someone else - the bottom line is what you do for a living doesn’t have to be work! It’s time to take back control of your work life.
