Episode 76: Embodied Communication: Body Language & Presence in Practice with Kai Ying Loh 35:37

منذ 10 أيام35:37

35:37

Send us a text Want to be inspired and rethink how your body shapes your communication? This episode is for you! Kai Ying Loh is an Ontological and NLP coach, co-host of The Curious Co. Podcast, and former national table tennis player. With 8 years in Singapore’s public sector, she’s worked in OD, L&D, and research. She coaches a global clientele and speaks English, Mandarin, German, and Indonesian. She studied linguistics at the National University of Singapore. Here are just a couple of takeaways from our conversation: Alignment Between Words and Body Language: One of the most powerful insights from our discussion was the idea of alignment. It's not just about what we say, but how we say it. Our body language, facial expressions, and overall presence should match our words to convey authenticity. When there's a mismatch, it can lead to misunderstandings and a breakdown in trust. Kai shared a personal story about a high-stakes conversation with a former boss, illustrating how centering herself and being aware of her body language transformed the interaction. Practical Techniques for Effective Communication: We explored several practical techniques to help us stay calm and confident during challenging conversations. One standout tip was to breathe deeply and focus on the sensations in our bodies. This simple act can ground us and bring us back to the present moment, allowing us to respond more effectively. Kai also encouraged listeners to seek feedback from trusted friends about their non-verbal communication habits, which can reveal blind spots we may not be aware of. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode! After listening, ask yourself: Have you ever felt a disconnect between your words and your body?

Episode 75: From Conflict to Curiosity: Transform How You Listen with Dr Jane Tuomola 30:52

منذ 10 weeks30:52

30:52

Send us a text If you are looking for ways to have more productive and fulfilling conversations at your home or workplace, then this episode is for you! Dr Jane Tuomola, originally from the UK, is a Singapore-based therapist, coach, and trainer with over 20 years’ experience. She uses Solution Focused Practice to help clients create positive, goal-oriented change. A clinical psychologist and ICF-certified coach, Jane has edited two books on culturally responsive practice in Asia and is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. Here are just a couple of tips Jane shares: Be Curious, Not Furious: One of the most impactful insights from Jane was the idea of approaching conversations with curiosity rather than frustration. When we encounter negative behaviors or complaints, it’s essential to ask ourselves, “What is their good reason for doing this?” This mindset shift not only fosters understanding but also opens the door to more constructive dialogues. By being curious, we can uncover the underlying motivations and needs of others, leading to more meaningful connections. What’s the Wish Behind the Complaint? When faced with negativity, it’s crucial to dig deeper and understand the wishes or desires that lie beneath the surface. Jane encouraged us to ask ourselves, “What does this person really want?” By reframing complaints in this way, we can transform a potentially draining conversation into a collaborative problem-solving session. This not only helps in finding solutions but also strengthens our relationships by showing that we value the other person’s perspective. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode! How might your conversations at home or work change if you approached complaints with curiosity instead of frustration? Timestamps: [00:00:13] Solution-focused listening explained.

Send us a text Welcome to a special series ‘Conversations That Count’ featuring Singapore-based professionals. This sunny island has been my home since 2009, so I’m excited to shine a spotlight on the inspiring residents I share this sunny island with! About our guests: Paula Barnes and Rachel Beausang are the hosts and producers of the Truly Expat Podcast. Paula, an Australian expat living in Singapore, has over 25 years of travel experience, sharing honest reviews, practical itineraries, and well-researched travel articles. Her passion stems from a love of helping others get the most out of their travel experiences. Rachel, originally from New Zealand, left home at 18 and has spent the last 30 years living around the world, including the US, UK, and Italy. With a fresh degree in digital marketing, Rachel brings her passion for podcasting to the Truly Expat team. We dove deep into the theme of "Finding Your Tribe." Here are three key takeaways that really resonated with me. The Power of Vulnerability : Paula shared a heartfelt story about how being vulnerable can create deep connections. She emphasized that when we open up about our struggles, it often encourages others to do the same. This creates a safe space for empathy and support, reminding us that we’re not alone in our experiences. It’s a beautiful reminder that vulnerability can be a strength, not a weakness. Never Say No : Rachel brought up a fantastic mantra: "Never say no to an event." This mindset encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace new experiences. You never know who you might meet or what opportunities might arise when you say yes! It’s all about being open to connections and adventures, even when it feels daunting. Compassion is Key : Both Paula and Rachel highlighted the importance of compassion in our interactions. They reminded us that everyone has their own battles, and a little kindness can go a long way. By approaching others with empathy and understanding, we can foster deeper connections and create a more supportive community. If you’re looking to expand your social circle or simply want to feel more connected, this episode is a must-listen. Timestamps: [00:06:02] Finding your tribe as expats.

The Impact of Check-Ins: Kerry talked about how little check-ins—like asking, “Are you okay?” over a quick message or catching up over coffee or even ice-cream —can make a big difference.

Send us a text Welcome to a special series ‘Conversations That Count’ featuring Singapore-based professionals. This sunny island has been my home since 2009, so I’m excited to shine a spotlight on the inspiring residents I share this sunny island with! About our guest: Manish is a professional speaker and coach in workplace resilience and human performance. He is driven to help as many people as possible to build their capacity to thrive in challenges. He is currently the Managing Partner, South East Asia for Resilience Institute, an esteemed organisation focused on building performance with care. If you’re struggling to navigate the social media world, or are thinking of stepping into it, this episode is for you! Here are three key takeaways from our conversation: 1. Building Inner Muscles : Manish redefines resilience as the ability to build inner muscles to cope with external challenges. By focusing on strengthening our psychology and physiology, we can better navigate the pressures of social media and maintain a sense of calm and confidence. 2. Creating Your Own Rules : Before diving into the social media game, it's essential to establish your own rules. Manish emphasizes the importance of setting personal boundaries and intentions, rather than getting caught up in external validation or algorithm-driven expectations. 3. Curiosity Over Consistency : While consistency is often touted as crucial in social media, Manish highlights the significance of curiosity. By staying curious and open-minded, we can approach social media as a playful game, maintaining lightness and authenticity in our interactions. This episode really highlights the need to set personal rules when engaging with social media platforms, focusing on detachment, clarity of purpose, and maintaining a sense of lightness in one's approach.

This technique allows us to shift our focus from overwhelming emotions to a calming and grounding space, helping us manage stress and anxiety effectively. 2.

This serves as a release valve, allowing us to express and process our emotions in a healthy way, ultimately leading to a sense of relief and clarity. 3. Validation of Overwhelming Emotions : Nur emphasizes the importance of validating our overwhelming emotions by acknowledging their existence and offering compassionate affirmations. By accepting and validating our feelings, we create a safe space for ourselves to navigate through challenging emotions with self-compassion and understanding.
