What if every awkward silence, every emotional hijack, every misstep can be used as stepping-stone to circle back to a conversation? To reconnect. To build trust, not erode it.

What if "failed" moments aren't actually failures at all, but are simply part of a natural, generative learning process?

Today, we examine moments that feel like failures at the time, but are actually opportunities for greater connection with ourself and others.

We explore:

• 1:01 Intro thoughts
• 2:40 How can I incorporate NVC tools at work?
• 3:45 Step 1: Observe
• 7:20 The most powerful thing you can do when you're in a position of power
• 14:43 'm angry. What can I do?
• 23:45 How can I stop judging my family?
• 31:07 A script for revealing ourselves in small ways
• 39:53 Q&A
• 51:10 Closing tips and practices
