Every day we engage in dozens of conversations and correspondences, but we do not always come out of them with a sense of clarity. Sometimes an innocuous remark turns into an argument, a simple request causes offense, and important words get stuck between the lines. The lecture-discussion at the Growth and Career Library is dedicated to how living, honest communication is structured and why it so often breaks down in everyday life. Psychologist and systemic therapist Elena Kayurova thoroughly analyzes where the habits that hinder dialogue come from: devaluation, passive aggression, jokes instead of direct answers, dramatization of any disagreement. Listeners will learn how past experiences, family scenarios, and work contexts influence the tone we speak in, the words we choose, and why we sometimes hear in a partner's reply what they did not mean. A separate block will be dedicated to how to ecologically set boundaries, discuss money, responsibility, and plans without slipping into mutual accusations. The format of the meeting combines theory and live conversation. The lecturer offers clear schemes and linguistic formulas, and then shows how they work through examples of everyday and work situations: discussing tasks with colleagues, conflict in a couple, difficult dialogue with relatives or clients. Participants will be able to ask questions, analyze their stories, look at their habitual communication patterns from the outside, and safely practice new ways of responding. It is important that the discussion will not be about memorized phrases, but about attentiveness to oneself and the other person, the ability to notice one's feelings before they turn into irritation or silent protest. Such a meeting will be useful for anyone who feels tired of endless misunderstandings and wants to build connections differently in work, friendship, and personal life. The material will resonate especially with those involved in helping professions, team leadership, negotiations, and public speaking. You will leave with a clearer understanding of your own communicative habits, tools for calm conversations about difficult topics, and inspiration.
