Heart to Heart Talks Communication Training Program
Layne & Paul
Congratulations and welcome to this unique, proven program that will help you dramatically improve the quality of your communication and relationships, starting with the very first lesson! We acknowledge you for having the foresight and wisdom to invest in yourself and the future of all your relationships.
This program is based on our book, Straight From the Heart – Build Trust and Understanding and the simple communication practice that helps you to consciously create deeper trust and understanding, Heart to Heart Talks.
This course consists of the six training and coaching modules. Each module contains the recorded training and handouts you need to gain new knowledge and how to put it to use in your life.
This is a self-study course that allows you to progress through the modules at your own pace. We recommend that you complete one module every week, or two at most. That includes listening to the teaching audio and using the handout for your fieldwork. Most people find this helps them move through the course at a comfortable pace and still make some rapid progress. If you are an enthusiastic learner and want to go deeper we have additional resources in each module for you to explore at your leisure.
We sincerely hope you will enjoy your journey through this program and we encourage you to go all the way. We know if you do that you’re communication and your relationships will be forever transformed!

Important tips for receiving the most from this program:
1. Block off times in your calendar to review the module content and complete the recommended action steps. Usually scheduling the same time on the same day of the week works great, but it is up to you. Schedule an hour and a half to listen to the class and print out your fieldwork.
2. Get connected with a practice buddy and schedule your practice sessions. Your fieldwork includes practice sessions that require a practice partner. You may have as many practice buddies as you like. Scheduling thirty minutes for a practice session works well. You will each get a turn that way.
3. Stay focused on your purpose and intention for taking course. You will be learning new ways of communicating and there will be a learning curve. That means sometimes you might feel a little awkward as you try new things for the first time. As you press through, you will notice new and powerful results.
4. Don’t aim for perfection. Give yourself permission to be a beginner!
5. Understand that taking new actions is the #1 determining factor between those who experience breakthroughs and those who don’t. Just keep showing up and let the course guide you through.
6. Create a binder for your class notes and handouts. You may also want create a tab to keep a journal of your practice sessions with your buddy. Those sessions are rich with surprising results and documenting a record of your progress is valuable.
7. Complete every action step before moving ahead to the next module. While this course is based on the honor system, each action step has a specific purpose and we encourage you to take them. We’ve been using and teaching Heart to Heart Talks for close to 40 years. You can trust that your investment of time and energy here will return to you in many happy and surprising ways for you and the people you care most about.

Module 5 – Getting Creative with Heart to Heart Talks
Affirming Heart to Heart Talks are one of the most powerful forms of Heart to Heart Talks you can use, because they can help you change the trajectory of your future.
Your relationships are a mirror of your own consciousness. One of the fastest ways to improve your relationships is to improve your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitudes, to transform your own consciousness about relationships.
Most of the troubles in your relationships are actually veiled clues that poing to things within yourself that need to be upgraded. As you change your consciousness, it changes the way people treat you. It’s a lot easier to change yourself than try to change others!
Learning to observe and change unwanted trouble making beliefs is how we have kept the love alive in our own relationship and helped thousands of others create the relationships of their dreams. It’s truly and exciting adventure!
