\nDo you communicate clearly with your partner? … Are you sure?
\nDo you even know what your partner is asking for, when they\u2019re asking you to listen?
\nDo you know what TRUE MASCULINE LEADERSHIP is?
\n
\nI first experienced Joshua Hathaway one evening in Los Angeles when he was leading a workshop for men. I remember feeling so awake in my spirit and alive in my body by the end of that evening, because Joshua wove in the severely overlooked need of adult men to be PLAYFUL together .. and so we played a lot that evening, and man it was so refreshing. Because I\u2019m way too serious, way too often.
\nAlthough I haven\u2019t known him long, since that workshop I\u2019ve been captivated by Joshua\u2019s presence, and his ability to hold the attention of men, to inspire men to deeper connection with themselves, and from there, with others. I wouldn\u2019t describe Joshua as confident. I would describe him AS the personification of confidence, itself.
\nJoshua is also the founder of the company actually called, “No Bullsh!t Communication,” through which he offers private and organizational trainings, as well as coaching and consulting.
\nThe core of Joshua\u2019s work, which I so appreciate given the coaching work I do with couples, is helping people create real, meaningful connection.
\nIn this conversation, we dive into communication in relationships, the true role of masculine leadership (hint: shut up and listen), and so much more.
\nDefinitely stay tuned for Joshua\u2019s 5 Key Takeaway’s at the end of this episode of \u201cMen, This Way.\u201d
