I did yesterday, I wasn't having the greatest day and when asked how I am - my response was "I'm not having the best day but I'm doing my best". And let me tell you how goooood that felt, to be honest and vulnerable yet still able to maintain my privacy. Thank you Amber
Exciting video, A year ago i took the no contact route, well i wouldn't say it didnt go well, but i missed her and sometimes you have to leave your comfort zone and go for what you want, Without knowing and having a huge ego, we might actually miss out on our soul mate all in the name of not settling for less, I know who i am fand at the same time i know what i want for me, so i did all i could to get her back, and I must say, it was the best decision i have ever made, we have been together again for over 7 months, yes marriage isnt always rosey, but i am lucky to have her, just as she is to have me, we compliment each other
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i am in a similar situation, and i do not know what else do to have him back, i have been dying inside, people actually think i am happy, i am not. I feel your pain sister, after trying out the no contact experiment that failed miserably, i had to find other means, i had to reach out to a spiritual adviser, it was brilliant idea which i never thout it was, but it worked wonders for me.c
Thank you Amber, what an amazing speech. I had the same situation a week ago with my very close friends or (Big Sister) Pamela. I always smile even when I cry but this time I was sinking from the inside. We gather up at her house and we’re talking about life. For the past weeks and months I wasn’t fine and she took the momentum to not ask me but to tell me; I know you are not okay. WOW! that was powerful I literally couldn’t hold my tears., It was a very emotional time. My best friend committed suicide two months ago and after that day I been so aware of these feelings, so harsh. If you are reading this and consider yourself a good friend pay attention and good luck 🍀
I saw this talk live several months ago (pre-covid). It has stayed with me. Truly inflicted the way I talk to my youngest. Thank you for this gift. Your talk has had impact! 🙏
Summary : Q1 : What is best part of your day today . Q2 What about your work inspire you instead of asking what you do ? Q3 How can I support you in this moment instead of How you hanging in this hard time? Q4 What does success look like for you when all of this is said and done? Q5 How can we work together to meet this goal instead of How can I help? Q6 Are you okay instead of How are you ?
I had been wondering for a long time how to connect things in order to remember them and how to remember to connect things. And suddenly I see this video in my recommendation and yeah I found one answer. Thank you.
Amber you are such an inspiring communicator!!! Grateful to be able to witness your, "genius zone" in action. I plan to implement what you shared with others, the intentionality in questioning and showing empathy, resonated. Awesomeness all around.😊 (by the way this is Alethea J from class).
This was incredible!! I have been feeling like my relationships have been superficial the last while. And it made me feel like for some reason I was at fault. But I’m going to try to ask more insightful questions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!!
This is an amazing reservoir of knowledge. A book I read with similar wisdom was a paradigm shift for me. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint
Its amazing how deep we are in this "education narrative", besides accepting the fact that we all are learning and all we can do is try to communicate this learning to others. There's no such thing as "teaching".
Much appreciation Amber, for sharing, and for enduring and/or moving through whatever obstacles “could have” stopped your work from getting to the rest of us. Is the phenomenon of -the entire universe being made up of nothing but answers (the only action necessary is to ask Questions [quality questions] to receive them) a common observation? Is this observation incorrect? If individual people are an aggregate that make up a more complex being, then you are a healthy cell and I’m grateful. Being Human is weird huh? Hope you enjoy these questions and many thanks. Is a “rhetorical question” just a phrase for a statement? Why are there so many important definitions for the word “just,” such a commonly used word? Sorry for yammering, I JUST have so many questions. 😂 Your speech has brought about an action in me, to make an effort to be aware of questions asked-and to react in a pleasant way to the curious and information seekers encountered throughout the day. To be aware when I am making statements rather than connections and so much more.
Well, I am an American, so, there's that. But the intention behind that statement is framed by what I said next, about true wealth being our relationships. It's not about money at all. 🙂
This is corporate nonsense. True meaningful questions are the most difficult ones to ask.. how about asking, what's the most difficult thing about being you, what's the hardest thing about being a child/sibling/young, what's the easiest thing about being you? Etc.... Superficial questions will lead to superficial relationships.
"I'm not doing my best today but I'm trying my best." Powerful. Thank you Amber,
Thank you for watching, Januar!
@@wordswellsaid Thank you for enlightening us through your valuable words. Love you from India.
Criminally underrated talk
Wow, thank you so much, Ruhul!
Agreed Ruhul! So glad this came across my feed. Dr. Wright gets to the crux of what constitutes meaningful communication. Thank you Mrs. Wright. 😊
I agree!
So much compassion in her voice.

Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach him/ her?
His name is Fatherabulu, and he is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
Wow, “Communicating with intention”, I love it.
Thank you, Stan!

This was so eye opening. As I look back over my life this knowledge would have been sooo helpful.
This was amazing. Thank you. I try to listen to this often because I take away so much from it.

Excellent. Clear and concise. Thank you.

Solid. Very.
This was so good Amber! Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Perception shattered, Connection made... Nice!

Amazing
Thank you, Gian!
Kendrick Lamar is even talked about in Ted talks 🔥🔥🔥🔥 drake stood no chance
What is YOUR glory???
My glory lies is my brilliance, beauty, and a being a bright light. 💫
Interesting
Today is all I have
"Relationships are life's greatest currency" can a metaphor be more American than that 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Well, I am an American, so, there's that. But the intention behind that statement is framed by what I said next, about true wealth being our relationships. It's not about money at all. 🙂
@wordswellsaid fair enough. And I'm not denying the fact the analogy works ;)
Helpful
Thank you, Samyra! I'm glad you found it helpful.

I lose sleep by that opener of this talk I have the worst icebreaking questions
I wonder - how does one stop oneself from oversharing, then? :D
😊
This is corporate nonsense. True meaningful questions are the most difficult ones to ask.. how about asking, what's the most difficult thing about being you, what's the hardest thing about being a child/sibling/young, what's the easiest thing about being you? Etc.... Superficial questions will lead to superficial relationships.
Nah. I used to be like that. It's only good in micro doses.
"Go deep, not wild" @tykwondoe
Incredible talk!
Amazing
Amazing talk!!!
