NEW at Art of Eloquence: UPDATED Sample Lessons

We’ve updated all our sample lessons!

Over the last year, I have been working almost exclusively on new communication studies, especially the ones that you have told us you needed.  Over the year, we have released:

Say What You Mean Debating the Issues

 

Say What You Mean Overcoming Social Anxiety

 

Say What You Mean Beginning Debate

 

Say What You Mean Avoiding, Reducing and Resolving Conflicts

 

This past year has left me precious little time to do some much needed revising of our website…and you all know how UNtechie I am.  Well, in the past few weeks, I’ve been working on several aspects of our website and today I’m ready to announce our first series of changes: UPDATED Sample Lessons!

After much techie frustration, I have finally been able to update and upload revised versions of the seven sample lessons that we have had, mostly for our homeschool curricula, and HEEEEEEAR they are!

 

Say What You Mean for Preschoolers

Say What You Mean for Kids

Say What You Mean for Teens

Know Your Audience

Say What You Mean: A Creative Speech Course

 

 

Say What You Mean: Defending the Faith

 

Say What You Mean When You’re in Business

 

Each sample lesson link is located toward the bottom of the page so feel free to browse!  I am currently working to create sample lessons for some of our newer studies which do not yet have them.  I should be finished with them all by Wednesday, so come on back to the blog and check them out!

April is Grace Month

Have you subscribed to Communication FUNdamentals’ RSS Feed?  Don’t miss a post!

x

All this month I’ll be talking about the role of grace and godly communication in our daily lives from our marriages, kids, neighbors, family, friends and co-workers to how we handle the phone and social media.  I’ll be sharing tips from my article, “Ten Quick Rules for Disagreeing in Grace” and expanding on it to include more insights.  I’ll even share some from my upcoming new study, Say What You Mean: Avoiding, Reducing and Resolving Conflicts.

After checking out my article, for a little fun you can visit FIMM (Foot in Mouth Man) for some of his misadventures in miscommunication.  There will be a new episode this coming Wednesday so stay tuned.

Later this month, I’m going to host a free seminar on godly communication so save up your questions!  At the end of the show, I’ll be taking your questions which you can either call in to the show or post in the chatroom to share.  Here are the details on the seminar.  Mark your calendar so you don’t miss the live show. I always have something special planned for my live listeners!

Title: Godly Communication
Time: 04/28/2011 11:00 AM EDT
Episode Notes: It takes 21 days to make a habit; why not make one for God? I challenge you: Make a habit to speak in a more godly way and see what you reap and what you sow. I’ll show you how.

How to Join the Show: Join us via your computer by clicking this link, or call us during the show at (724) 444-7444 Call ID: 19736.

Happy Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is a time I look back.  Each year as a mom brings me unique blessings I want to savor.  Life will never again be as it is now.  I want to take the time to remember and cherish it.

This picture was taken several years ago.  A lot has changed since then.  We don’t even live in the same state as we did then.  My dd is all grown up now and going into her Junior year at college.  My son is almost my height.  As my father always says, “Tempus certainly does fugit” around here!

Happy Mother’s Day to each of you!

Wordless Wednesday

If you are a seasoned subscriber here on Communication FUNdamentals, you will remember that this is something I had done on a weekly basis years ago.

Much of communication is not in the words we use, but in our body language, eye contact, gestures, tone of voice, etc.  To celebrate this, I want each of you to post a picture on your own blog or Facebook wall or wherever and come back here and post a comment with a link to it.

It can be anything from a beautiful scene to a picture of your kids, a picture of you as a child, an animal or your favorite thing!  Just make sure it’s family friendly, please!

Let’s all share a little of ourselves today for Wordless Wednesday!  Here’s mine!

These are my goofy kids. Meet Kelsey (now 20) and Christopher (now 10).

We even have a special value package that has a little something for the entire family!

I have also updated our online catalog.  So if you are looking for a specific topic, for a particular age group, or would just like to browse, click here!

Finally, as I began to add these packages, I thought it would be a nice feature to have a major listing of our various eStudies for each age group.  So…I created several new At-A-Glance type pages broken down by age group.  We now have overview pages for all our PreK eStudies, Elementary eStudies, Jr/Sr High eStudies, and for all of our Adult eStudies which are now linked from our home page.  I am still working to add all the pictures to these pages so bear with me as I finish that this week.
