Build Conversations That Create Trust — Not Tension

You don’t need to become “a better communicator.”

You need a repeatable way to listen when the stakes are real:

  • A tense team conversation
  • A discouraged employee
  • A conflict at home
  • A student who shuts down
  • A client who feels misunderstood
  • A board meeting where trust is fragile

Most people aren’t struggling because they don’t care.

They’re struggling because they don’t have a framework.

 

LISTEN UP! gives you practical tools to slow down reactive patterns, understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and respond with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

A Professional Skill Lab — Not a Lecture

Live Leadership Labs™ are designed for leaders and helping professionals who want real-world application, not just inspiration.

This is experiential learning.

You’ll practice structured listening tools, emotional regulation strategies, and communication techniques you can immediately use in:

  • leadership meetings
  • classrooms
  • counseling sessions
  • workplace conversations
  • family dynamics

You won’t just learn about empathic listening.

You’ll practice it.

Meet Your Guide

Dr. Yvonne I. Murray-Larrier, PhD, LMHC, LPC, BCC, NCC, NCSC

Every Piece Matters LLC

I help leaders and helping professionals strengthen communication, trust, and emotional steadiness using practical, evidence-informed tools and structured frameworks.

Live Leadership Labs™ are designed to move beyond inspiration into implementation—so your listening becomes a leadership advantage.

What You'll Learn

In LISTEN UP! you will learn how to:

Recognize the thought before the emotion (Thoughts → Emotions → Behavior)

Understand what’s really happening using the Six Root Questions (Who, What, When, Where, Why, How)  

Manage internal reactivity using regulation + reframing tools

Express needs with compassion, clarity, and boundaries using I-Statements

Reflect so insight becomes growth (not just “a good session”)

You’ll leave with a practical method for navigating difficult conversations with steadiness and purpose.

Why This Matters

Without a framework, communication tends to default to:

Fixing instead of understanding

Reacting instead of regulating

Avoiding instead of addressing

Over time, this erodes trust, connection, and leadership credibility.

LISTEN UP! gives you a structured, repeatable method to lead conversations that heal instead of harm.

 

Imagine This Instead

Imagine finishing hard conversations with:

0 %
Clarity instead of regret
0 %
Calm instead of reactivity
0 %
Confidence instead of second-guessing
0 %
Trust instead of tension

Listening becomes your leadership advantage.
