It’s a fact—lack of effective communication is a leading cause of divorce, the breakdown of relationships between parents and children, as well as between employees and their employers. There is no doubt that communication in all types of relationships can make or break them, but changing how we relate to one another is easier said than done. This is because of inherited or past communication patterns that can quickly lead to hurt feelings or emotional disconnection. What’s more, most people don’t have the knowledge, skills or the time to invest in changing how they behave.
Changing Behavior: Immediately Transform Your Relationships with Easy-to-Learn, Proven Communication Skills (SoulWork Press, 2011) is the first-ever guide to provide simple, proven strategies to facilitate lasting change and to experience new levels of fulfillment, collaboration or intimacy. The information presented in Changing Behavior was developed and clinically researched for over 30 years by relationships expert, Dr. Georgianna Donadio, in partnership with the National Institute of Whole Health (NIWH).
