Nonviolent Communication is a three-day compassionate communication skills training based on the book and workbook by Marshall Rosenberg.
Nonviolent Communication skills help us connect empathically with ourselves and others to have more satisfying relationships; to increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection; and to share resources so everyone is able to benefit.
Taking Nonviolent Communication will help you develop skills to:
- Make observations of situations and experiences without judgment or blame.
- Identify and talk about how you’re feeling as well as how others might feel.
- Identify and talk about what your needs or values are, as well as help others discover their needs.
- Make requests of others to help you meet your needs or offer to help someone else meet their needs.
- Listen more deeply, and in a different way.
- Approach your anger, and others’, from a new angle.
