Season 2, Episode 29, Release Date: 5-4-2024 IFIO with guest Toni Herbine-Blank   Today I have the pleasure of sharing my conversation with Toni Herbine-Blank, MS. RN, C-SP. She is a Clinical Specialist, Psychotherapist, and Senior Trainer for the Center for Self-Leadership. Toni began training students in Internal Family Systems Therapy in 2004 and since then has been instumental in designing programs and writing curricula for Levels 1 and 2 IFS training programs.   Toni has been in private practice since 1996 specializing in the treatment of couples and individuals. In 2009, after designing a training for IFS therapists to apply the model to couples therapy, Toni offered the first Intimacy from the Inside Out (c) Training Program in Boston, MA. Since then the program has been received with great enthusiasm across the United States.   Whereas IFS focused on the internal aspects of an individual, IFIO focuses on the interdependance our internal system and external relationships. We turn inward (known as a "YOU-turn") to help us in our connections ("RE turn" to relationship).    Toni shared how the heart of her model is "Courageous Communication." When we feel healed, we open up to conversations. In this way we can stay connected with our minds and hearts, and are able to tune into how we might be impacting other people in the conversations.   Within intimate relationships, there is mutuality, as well as exploration. Although skills and tools could be extremely helpful, we need to have a critical mass of self energy in order to access these skills. Self-energy helps us listen and speak from our hearts.   We spoke about how Shame is a verb. When we have difficulty connecting and commnuicating with one another, we can explore what is coming up within us, and there is always some path that connects us back to shame, shamfulness or shaming behaviors. Shame is a "rolling" energy, where we sometimes replicate within our systems what is done to us. Additionally, what we do to ourselves, we do to others.   In IFIO we are "helping people free themselves from the myth of Unloveability."   Through IFIO we earn the trust of our internal system, and in this way recognize who we can extend this trust to in our external world. As these people are welcomed into our internal universe, we co-constuct authentic and meaningful connection.

Episode Highlights Communicating from the heart(land). I asked Michelle if being from the Midwest—the heartland—made her a better communicator. She shared a touching story of the "hard-earned pearls" of wisdom her mother passed down to her and how it led her to help others in their own communication. "Nobody's born a great leader," Michelle said. Or a great communicator for that matter. Michelle shared a story about how every time someone's implied she's given a great speech effortlessly, she says, "the effortless part is an illusion."

In today's episode, Bronkar ignites a truly courageous conversation. Curiosity is key with our special podcast guest: longtime Musician and Music Educator Aaron Williams. Aaron dives into how he's learned to hone and prioritize that curiosity, allowing it to expand his mind and growth opportunities. Finding inspiration in others, Aaron has let that curiosity flow and ignite possibility in his growth both as a musician and as an educator. Bronkar and Aaron also discuss the importance of understanding that soft skills are just that - skills. Most of us are not born public speakers or amazing communicators. Those skills can be developed, honed and grown with practice and dedication. Whether communicating with a student, child, colleague or stranger, awareness is key. We all get to choose how we show up. When we enter into conversations with an expansive mindset, and when we choose a forgiving, easygoing energy, we invite others to connect. Part 1 will leave you with a few important questions: What do you want to create? What are you Manifesting? And what will you enter into your mental search engine today?

We cast a wide net today and speak about the core skill that allows us to relate to one another in the world: Communication. This episode covers major ideas you can use and think about when you communicate one-on-one, with a small group or on a stage. We also discuss the changes that happen when we go digital as well. Alex Lyon is an Associate Professor and Chairperson in the Department of Communication at the College at Brockport, State University of New York. His area of study is Organizational Communication with an emphasis on leadership, power, and ethics. In 2016, he wrote ***Case Studies in Courageous Communication.*** Some organizations do a much better job than others at creating high-performance workplaces that are outstanding places to work. The book makes that path clearer for others to follow.

Which camp do you typically hang out in - camp scarcity or camp abundance? I called my business Abundant Living because I inherently believe in the principle of abundance. In this episode I talk about how I  believe there is enough for everyone and share examples of leaders who reached out to colleagues and competitors alike and asked them to join forces for everyone's benefit. If you tend to slide into thinking it's detrimental to collaborate with others for fear it will result in less for you or your business, I'm encouraging you to give this episode a listen. You just might walk away with a whole different perspective!

Everything is like a dance. If you're shy or have two left feet, dancing may not be easy, neither is life. However, once you find the rhythm, it feels like flying. Now is that time.

As a follow-up to episode #9, this episode comes back to the topic of setting clear and strong boundaries. Starting with how to know the warning signs when someone is crossing or pushing a boundary, I offer a 4-part formula for dealing with boundary crossers as well as a strategy for having a compassionate conversation with boundary pushers. This is another opportunity to build your skills as a candid and compassionate communicator as well as supporting you in your efforts to cultivate a healthy workplace.

Some employees don’t have the guts to talk to their superiors about sensitive things that may or may not make a difference. On the other hand, some leaders make it impossible for employees to reach out by making themselves unapproachable—though at most times, unintended.   It’s imperative to understand that teamwork is all about communication. When communication stops, everything falls apart. Being someone of power in your business, you need to make sure that communication is flawless.   In today's episode, I will discuss with you the dangers of speaking truth to power, benefits of speaking truth to power, and how senior leaders can encourage speaking truth to power.   If your aim is to lead your team into a higher level of communication, then this episode is for you.

Maryanne helps nonprofits realize their true potential by showing them how to build meaningful relationships with their donors and how to show up in an authentic way.  Find out more about Maryanne and the work she does on today’s episode!    Key Takeaways: [3:05] Who is Maryanne and how did she first get involved with nonprofits? [4:35] What is Courageous Communication all about?  [10:30] Nonprofits often feel very dependent on their donors and they feel like they have to make choices to please these donors instead of doing what’s right for the organization.  [13:35] Your nonprofit is a leader, and so are your volunteers and donors. When you approach it this way, you end up having a more balanced relationship with everyone. [15:25] It’s important to think in terms of value when you’re working with others in your nonprofit. [22:25] When you understand someone else’s needs first, you’re able to respond in an honest and authentic way. [23:55] Maryanne shares two success stories of what ‘Courageous Communication’ looks like.  [32:55] We do not track time as seriously as money, and we should!  [42:40] No one wants to get ‘sold’ on why they should join your organization. There are so many better ways to approach relationships.  [48:00] Building relationships is a long-term approach. [50:35] It all starts with a conversation!

Theresa Wiggins drops by Le vital corps Salon this week. Since 2014, she has been combining her passion for kids, families, and education through her business, Village Parenting. Theresa teaches mindfulness and offers in-home behavior management support to families dealing with chronic behavioral issues. Additionally, she consults with both students and school faculty around effective family engagement. You might be thinking this episode is going to be a really kid- and family- focused one. Yes, we are going to talk about Theresa's work for context. We’re also going to discuss how she came to it. Yet, there is so much in this episode for grownups without children, too. My husband, Craig, and I don't have kids currently, but the conversation left me with some ideas that stuck since Theresa and I recorded this conversation. In this episode, Theresa shares both a deeply personal, courageous story and her professional story with us. She shares how mindfulness instruction came to be part of her core offerings, and how she helps children understand true happiness, which is not contingent on achievement. (I found this to be quite, thought-provoking as a recovering Type-A lady.) We also discuss the misconceptions of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and what life is like after the diagnosis. We consider the concept of courageous communication, which also plays out in real-time in this episode. As always, I hope you find comfort and ideas through our conversation. Now, get out your smartphone or favorite listening device, and start listening already.

So rather you gritting your teeth I appreciate you bringing it up.” – on workplace communication in a nice, inviting way“I was listening to this podcast and they were talking about communicating in the workplace and communicating with their boss. And I was wondering is there a way that is most appealing to you or useful to you if I have requests for you or suggestions on what works best for me in our relationship, a way for me to bring that up that feels respectful to you but is also clear and useful.” – on approaching your boss“Every better result you want requires a better conversation” - encouraging the conversation“Human beings are creatures of reciprocity.” - if someone shows us goodwill in that way, we do that but if someone is pushing their view, then we push back. “If we want to go into new territory in life, we need to delete unproductive beliefs, unproductive outdated maps of how the world is and install, appropriate maps that will help us navigate this new territory.” - on letting go of old and welcoming new“Live each day as if we are on our own heroes journey” “Our inner world is unceasingly fascinating!” – on being an introvert Links mentioned to or referred to: David's business: Human Nature At WorkCourageous Conversations That Work – if you are struggling with having a challenging conversations at workSign up for the CLE webinar called Getting to Reasonable: How to Calm Down Upset and Unreasonable Clients and Get Them to Think and Communicate RationallyJoseph Campbell – The Hero’s JourneyIdo Portal - Movement CultureHildegard von BingenA huge shout out to Na'an Stop the jammin' band from Boulder, Colorado for the accompanying podcast music.

Welcome back to Tuff Love with Rob Kandell. The guest today is the amazing Liz Dialto, author, speaker, teacher, mentor, podcaster, and she’s here to talk about courageous communication. Back in the day, Liz used to sell Cut Through Knives, and was brought up in this culture of community, working with people, sales and marketing, lots of sales stuff is rooted in personal development. When she left that industry she became a personal trainer and then a couple of years into that, she started noticing that without fail, any kind of mental, emotional, financial, relationship issue could come up and swiftly wipe out any results people had gotten with their diet and exercise. So she became fascinated with working IN as opposed to just working out, and how the two work together. Having received a lot of feedback over the years that she was intimidating, too masculine or that she needed to soften, Liz started studying femininity and feminine archetypes. She realized there are many archetypes and she embodies more of a fierce warrior type of energy, and that that was okay. From there it she was interested in how to be a woman in the 21st Century that raises us to be lovelier versions of men. So that’s where it all started. The transition from being a trainer to what Liz’s doing now took a couple of years. She started studying, doing energy work, learning Reiki, personality typography, seeing what works and what didn’t.

Sarah Naia Soleil’s sequence of being conceived was the initial spark that ignited her passion for the invisible doorways and non-verbal realms that surround us. A mother of two, Sarah received the gift of experiencing a life-changing transcendent state of consciousness during the four-and-a-half-hour birth of her son. This initiation led her to study midwifery and serve as a birth doula, which has been apart of her journey ever since.
