"I feel I can finally start building a relationship that was lost between my family, wife, children... "

" It's not that the communication was bad, it just wasn't there. And it's way past time for me to connect with my family. And I want to do it the most effective way possible. Me and my wife are both going through a lot right now. We will need all the tools possible to keep continuing to grow and understand each other's needs. Thank you."

"To listen and look past the initial statement and see the underlying pain, or need... "

"The biggest thing for me is to shut up. To listen and look past the initial statement and see the underlying pain, or need. To see many other ways to use my communication skills to solve very difficult or painful situations in everyday life shall prove to be very enlightening in my personal recovery and in my spiritual walk. Thank you!"

"I think its never too late to learn and how I've been communicating this far in my 44 years has not been working, but I had no tools and no experiences or examples in which to learn of or to refer to... "

"I have that now and will use the Giraffe and will study the feelings chart to help me be more able to express what I'm trying to say and to hear others better and more."

"No one should be without the Language of peace. It's like the language of love! I like it. I love it... "

"Response to the question, ‘Are there any areas you would like to see changes?': More time. Oh, what a relief. This class is – healing is good!

I am a firm believer that the day we die is the day we stop learning! And this class is a definite learning too. No one should be without the Language of peace. It's like the language of love! I like it. I love it. I want some more of it!!! It works. I did it.

"How to express without anger or violence... "

"The biggest impact on me was how to read between the lines of what people are saying. How to express without anger or violence. It made me see that I made the right choice. I feel so blessed to have met Paul.

This is the best 6 hours I've ever spent on a subject. I really learned a lot from Paul. Very smart man. I would love to take more [classes] from him. Good class. Just listen to him. Take the tools away [that you will want] to use in life's experiences."

"Start your healing today...! "

"Learn how to communicate, identify feelings and put into action now. Do not wait for ‘later'! ....you might not make it....it may be too late.

"I believe the “power of words” – communication and how we use these words are the tools we use to either break down or build up... "

"The information was bought across very clear and effective. I'm in a position of desperate change for my life. I'm grateful for these life changing tools. I believe will be a catalyst to better communication. I believe the “power of words” – communication and how we use these words are the tools we use to either break down or build up. I choose to build up and encourage with the communication skills I have learned today.

I have placed my faith and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ and Biblical principals. It has blessed me to see that these tools fall into place with peace for myself and the people I love and communicate with.

"I learned more about communication when I felt I was already good at it... "

"I will seriously take the tools learned in this class with me to the outside world and into my everyday life. I enjoyed the class tons. I learned more about communication when I felt I was already good at it. I'm glad I took this class and I hope I will be strong enough to use these tools in real life with my mom. Thank you,
