• Sharing Expectations
• Being Assertive
• Trust
• Compelling Reason
• Emotional Intelligence and Understanding Learning Styles
• Being Hopeful

• Practice, Practice, Practice
• Giving and Receiving Effective Feedback
• Action Planning
• ACTION 

“It takes two to speak the truth one to speak and the other to listen."

• If you missed the Tuesday Tele-Circle, go to this link to listen to this week's recording for Communicate to Connect.
• Music Medicine: When we communicate to connect, it’s important to stay positive, even when dire circumstances may dictate otherwise. Staying positive becomes your lifeline to sanity when times may be difficult. Check out Lindsey Stirling’s “Zelda Medley” for upbeat musical connections and smiling video.
  
  THE PROBLEM: if this music does not make you smile, listen to the TEDxUNLV Talk "Music Powers Potential: Building Mental Fitness" to find out more. And if you are in Las Vegas, please see us at the Music 4 Life® office for a free 10-minute session to force meditation in the Music Medicine Cove.  This may help you to relax and smile.
