About this episode
In this episode of the Communication and Culture podcast, I receive Maria Arpa.
Maria Arpa, a leading expert in workplace dynamics and compassionate communication, is transforming the way organisations address conflict and build relationships. Her journey from London's impoverished slums to becoming a successful entrepreneur and renowned conflict resolution specialist is both inspiring and enlightening.
Maria believes in creating workplace communities that transcend traditional hierarchies and embrace diverse cultures, belief systems, and generational differences. Her innovative "Dialogue Road Map" facilitates heart-centred communication, reduces unnecessary suffering, and fosters mutual respect, making her a sought-after advisor for senior management and C-suite executives.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Going from debate to dialogue
- Receiving and giving
- Making a conversation irresistible
- The importance of context and contract (unwritten rules and unconscious behaviours)
- Keeping people in the reality of where they stand in the context
