I found the problem with most tools to build these skills is that they're either books (very low touch) or 1-on-1 (very high touch) with not much in the middle.

I found the problem with most tools to build these skills is that they're either books (very low touch) or 1-on-1 (very high touch) with not much in the middle. Over the years, I've come up with three types of tools to help me and others get better at communicating: 1) Journaling app 2) Live role-playing of conflict scenarios 3) Audio reflection/communication drills The app is currently defunct, but its basic format was just answering "How do I feel?" and "What's happening?" in the moment, practicing getting better at articulating to ourselves how we actually feel, being really honest. I haven't run many live workshops lately, but the idea is to role-play a particular conflict you're struggling with and practice responding to it in real-time. I'm currently testing a web platform for the audio drills, which are mostly a series of questions helping us practice responding to questions/prompts quickly, and in a way where we don't have an audience. If you're curious about any of those, you can find my contact info in my profile, I'd love to chat more about them in general, I really geek out over creating such tools to improve communication.
