Most of us have been educated from birth to think and communicate in terms of what is "right" and "wrong" with people. We express our feelings in terms of what another person has "done to us." We struggle to understand what we need, and how to effectively ask for what we need without using unhealthy demands, threats, or coercion. Through NVC, we learn to resolve conflicts with more ease. We learn to ask for what we want in a way that invites others to respond to us, and we begin to hear the real needs of others, including when they say No.
Join Certified Nonviolent Communication Trainer Aya Caspi for a hands-on workshop and discover how to express your needs without blame, listen with understanding, and navigate conflicts with ease.
LEARN HOW TO:
Identify and break unhelpful communication patterns
Express feelings and needs without blame
Make requests that invite collaboration, not conflict
Build trust in all your relationships
