The celebrity and spiritual
life coach, Mrs. Iyanla Vancant is the host of Iyanla Fix My Life. In each episode/ session with the families she voluntarily coaches, she exhibits a sense of competency in the communication area of relational context. According to O’Hair and Wiemann, (2012), a communicator that
communicates from a relational context, access the appropriateness of their feelings
in a particular circumstance to the individual they are directing their lines
of communication. Iyanla consistently encourages people to first evaluate the
relationships they have with themselves before mending and/or healing the
relationship they have with others. I particularly
like how she helps individual truly define their relationship with the other
involved person based on their history
and future expectations. I would like to
adopt many of the hands on activities she encourages the individuals and families
she works with to participate in. The activities she elects to implement as tools
for self reflection, digging at the underlining issue “what is going on beneath
the surface”.
Below is a link to a you tube clip for a better insight to Iyanla Vancant style of being competent in the communication area of relational context.
