Connecting Feelings with Needs

Feelings tell us that our needs are either met or unmet. Needs are the ‘why’ of feelings.

Invest in your relationship with yourself

Our feelings are telling us something. Something about our Needs that are either being met or not met. Pleasant feelings tell us our needs are being met. Unpleasant, confusing, or uncertain feelings tell us we have unmet needs.

How can we discover what those unmet needs are? What can we do about meeting unmet needs?

Listening Game Cards help us identify feelings and needs through various games. Most games begin with storytelling or self-reflection for identifying feelings. Next up, we identify and connect needs to those feelings.

Improve your relationships
with others

“Creating a connection between people is the most important thing.”

It can take a lot of focus and care to establish an authentic human connection. The kind of connection that helps you more fully experience the joys in life while also helping you to navigate daily life tension and life’s more challenging conflicts effectively.

Listening Game Cards help to create, sustain, and deepen human connection. Be your best, most comfortable self, alone or with others, while cultivating deep and lasting friendships and relationships.

- Marshall Rosenberg

Connect with your teams

The most effective teams are connected teams.

Understanding and relating to other people is a powerful tool in the workplace. When employees feel they matter, that their ideas are listened to, and when they experience acknowledgment, they are more engaged.

With increasingly remote and hybrid work environments, it’s even more critical for leaders and teams to connect with each other. Listening Game Cards can be used in many ways, from a team-building icebreaker to exploring specific team-related scenarios. Everyone has an equal opportunity to contribute, to be heard, to listen for understanding, and to know that their voice matters.
