[2:00] Nonviolent communication as a "spiritual discipline and spiritual awareness process masquerading as a communication process...the underlying idea is that all human behavior is an attempt to get our human needs met...We generally don't get into conflict at the level of getting our needs met, but at the level of the strategies we use to meet those needs."[4:30] Building trust with nonviolent communication - "high trust leads to 'good fights'"[7:00] Nonviolent communication and compassion for ourselves as leaders[11:15] Kit's personal journey of nonviolent communication leading to her professional journey[16:30] Gandhi's personal evolution and the founding of the Gandhi Institute by Gandhi's grandson Arun[20:30] Kit's leadership of the Gandhi Institute and leaving the University of Rochester campus to integrate into and "be informed by the suffering" of the PLEX neighborhood[24:15] The intersection of sustainability and social justice - Permaculture as "a set of nonviolent design principles for designing in the way that nature designs...and using those principles for decision-making as a leader...all organizations need to think about sustainability, all organizations need to think about social justice. When we bring that wholeness into our thinking, it informs and uplifts all of us."[27:45] Restorative practices that are culturally informed as a way to transform school climate, especially at the Rochester City School District: "When there is a genuine sense of trust and a genuine sense of safety, all sorts of amazing things happen in every organization, including schools. When that happens, human beings are set up to succeed.""Restorative practices are a set of principles that center human beings. 80% of the focus is on relationship building and an orientation toward communal values over productivity...the other 20% relates to when conflicts emerge and a community-based response when violence occurs."[36:00] Upcoming Workshops at the Gandhi Institutehttps://gandhiinstitute.org/workshops-trainings/[40:30] The recent awakening of white people and white leaders - and the path forward[42:30] Challenging conversations and the anti-racist journey inside the Gandhi Institute[45:30] Advice for other organizations beginning on the anti-racist journey- balancing being courageous and mercifulLearn more about the Gandhi Institute at:https://gandhiinstitute.org/

In this episode Kit Miller of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence (https://gandhiinstitute.org/) takes us on her own journey to become a better listener. Filled with vulnerability and wisdom, Kit brings us into her world and encourages us to strive to understand others.

One of the biggest challenges many people face is getting enough and the right type of physical activity, and a personal trainer with Integrity. I interview Kit Miller, from Integrity Fitness and Martial Arts, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Tae Kwan Doe third degree black belt instructor. She discusses with me how people are intimidated by big fitness gyms, or small boutique facilities with young fit looking people. Kit also explains how so many fitness programs, classes, or so called fitness professionals all over social media talk a big game, but easily overwhelm, intimidate, and alienate so many. Listen how Kit also talks to me about her journey. How she came from a very stressful and challenging world in corporate America, traveling and maintaining a hectic schedule, and leading un unhealthy lifestyle, to her self-transformation. She started One Small Bite (sorry, couldn't help it) at a time to transform her mind, body, and soul. Kit has a unique approach with clients. She talks about the importance of guidance and patience, and the importance of form over function.Join us in this awesome discussion about finding the right teacher, a guide and fitness professional with integrity, and how finding the right person can help transform your life. I'm so excited to have you listen, and I just want to thank you for taking the time. Please feel free to contact me, give me your feedback, and if you haven't yet, remember to subscribe and share my show with friends, family, and colleagues! Thank you and until the next show, keep at it One Small Bite at a time!
