Nonviolent Communication: Level 1 is a three-day compassionate communication skills training based on the life’s work of Marshall Rosenberg, and specifically, his book, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life.
Nonviolent communication is the integration of:
Consciousness: A set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity
Language: Understanding how words contribute to connection or distance
Communication: Knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement and how to move toward solutions that work for all
Means of influence: Sharing “power with others” rather than using “power over others”
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
