Last week we wrapped up #effectivecommunicationmonth! We wanted to leave you with the reminder that when we affirm a person's strengths, it boosts their self-esteem, confidence and hope! Research suggests that simply being exposed to negative language is enough to cause higher levels of stress and anxiety, as well as lower levels of health and well-being. By shifting your language and communication to a strengths-based approach, you are supporting others to grow by identifying and building upon their strengths. Learn more about what this approach means and how using it in your communication with others can strengthen relationships. Take our 2-hour online course, A Strengths-Based Approach today!
