Week 1 – Build Awareness & Clarity

Week 1: Build Awareness & Clarity

The first step to speaking clearly and with love is awareness. Notice how you currently communicate and identify areas to improve.

• Record yourself speaking 1-2 minutes daily. Listen for clarity, tone, and pacing.
• Practice speaking slowly. Pause between key ideas to make them land.
• Choose one “communication sin” to avoid daily: gossip, negativity, complaining, exaggeration, excuses, judging, or dogmatism.

Next week, we’ll focus on listening deeply to improve connection.
