Spirituality
If there is a disharmony between what we
think, want and say, we get a bad feeling. Nice
words are only efficient, if they really come
from the heart. If not, we feel we are being
manipulated into doing what someone else
wants or expects.
For leaders and managers, it is not enough
to attend a seminar about empathetic
communication, that is just the beginning,
you need to balance yourself. Sometimes it
is necessary to make decisions which hurt
others, then it is important to speak honestly
and explain the reasoning behind the decision.
Harmony is like a game between empathy and
distance; being open-minded and reserved; to
talk and be quiet.
Fairness and respect are key to yourself and
to others. They are the flow between our three
intelligences. “Our thinking has to go through
our heart” said a classical author in the 19th
century. What a visionary viewpoint. In our
hectic times, it is a real challenge. Let’s follow
this path. Women may be more open minded,
so let’s experience this powerful way of
communication which comes from the heart.
The creation of
harmony is a lifelong
process
