Crafting Connection

Crafting Connection is a must-read guide to communication and building better relationships. Felicity shares her deep experience and expertise through her versatile ‘3-D’ model, crafting connections on three levels: with oneself, with others, and as a community. Packed full of insights and examples, each chapter satisfies the head (through reasoned logic and evidence-based science), the heart (impactful outcomes, reflective questions), and the hands (practical guidance and activities). Highly recommended to anyone who wants to consider how they communicate and connect, whether at home, at work, or in their wider community. Jess Annison, OBE Jess Annison Coaching

Crafting Connection is excellent. It is very accessible and easy to read. The ideas are clearly explained, and the book gives useful and accessible tools and techniques. Felicity’s presence is just right; she shares her stories and experiences with a flavour and personality that is authentic. The concepts are valid and cogent and shared with a light touch so that it doesn’t overwhelm or interfere. It’s thought-provoking, yet not too highbrow or complex. A sensible book for sensible people. This stuff matters, and true connection with self and with others can be life-changing.

I found this book fascinating to read. Felicity does a wonderful job of sharing her extensive knowledge of effective communication and progressively helped me understand how to connect better with those I meet. To fully appreciate her advice and recommendations I will read it again – and look forward to doing so. Jeremy Glyn Author of Achieving Happiness is ‘Easy as ABC’ 

 This book could not be better timed for our shouty, social media driven world where communication is often downgraded to scoring points and provoking reactions. Felicity provides a clear and insightful guide to what good communication should be. Connecting in 3D is a powerful building block which we can all benefit from using in every area of our lives. Highly recommended. Liz Gresson Organising Expert at All Organised for You

I found Crafting Connection to be an elegant, accessible, and practical guide to creating a more meaningful, authentic life by deepening the connection you have with yourself and with others. I really liked the Connecting in 3D framework as it makes sense of a big topic, and because it’s simple, it’s both powerful and memorable. Once you see communication and connection through the Connecting in 3D lens, you can’t unsee it in your daily life! The book is packed with loads of simple, easy-to-action tools. Felicity draws on a multitude of therapies and disciplines, and there is so much wisdom in Crafting Connection that even adopting a fraction of the recommendations in the book could be life-changing. This book could help many people and I would highly recommend it. Sarah Grant Nutritional therapist and wellbeing coach, Gut Reaction

I really enjoyed this book; it is eminently readable. It combines intellectually sound theories with relatable stories to bring them to life. I especially liked the exercises that allowed me to apply the lessons in the course of my reading so that I finished the book with good retention of what I had read (I don’t find this with every book I read). I like the structure of the book, which leads us from connecting with ourselves, then others, and finally building a community. Felicity introduces fresh ideas to some established thinking in a way that connects the dots of effective communication for life. Glenda Shawley MD, Fabulous Networking

Wow, this has hit the spot very successfully. As a trainer, facilitator, coach, and counsellor myself there are many open questions in my toolbox and I love asking them of others to obtain full answers. Felicity has used appropriate questions with me in this publication. She has really caused me to think about how I communicate and connect with myself and others. This easy-to-read and understand book takes the reader on a journey about inter- and intra-communication, which will be new to many and a revision for others.
