The Power of Gentle Presence

[Yvonne Hollandy]

It really is quite amazing what a focus on deep listening can do to shift relationships, communities, and individuals. My colleague, Michelle Strutzenberger of Axiom News has a gentle presence which I have seen open hearts and minds through her work as a Generative Journalist. I had to share her wise words above...

Thank you all for your kind words! I feel very lucky to work with Michelle and the crew here at Axiom News. We are in a constant exploration of effective dialogue, and honouring one another's souls. What an incredible journey...

I think that is one of the most beautiful titles to a piece of text that I have read. The text justifies the title too. Thank you so much for the posting.

Thank you Yvonne for sharing your appreciation for Michelle and for expressing it so clearly; I do feel also that gentleness and presence are key to meeting others in their full potential, reflecting back the strengths become then natural; actually I do believe that presence and gentleness is first necessary to acknowledge, respect and appreciate myself, and then I can radiate this appreciation outside... Also, a big thank you to Rituu for her gentle presence in inviting us to share our ideas and projects

I agree fully! Michelle's quiet listening does wonders...
