Why Intrapersonal Communication Matters
Description: Many will agree that strong listening skills are the most important part of the process of communication, but even as we become better at listening to others, we often forget to listen to the loving Voice of God within us. Sometimes the voice within us is not of God, but it is our own inner dialogue, echoing voices from the past that continue to distract and nag at our hearts. Learning to listen and discern our inner voice is an essential communication skill. Today we’re using Henri Nouwen’s “Hear the Heartbeat” as a springboard for discussion. Weigh in with a comment or question.
