About this training

Nonviolent Communication helps you resolve your deepest conflicts within yourself and with others through the power of empathy.

What can you expect from this training session?

Through interaction and practical experiences this training session will provide you with a number of skills and tips to communicate in a nonviolent way. It shines a light on some of the confounding factors and teaches you how to distinguish between different types of conversations and how to deal with them.

Why is nonviolent communication important?

In our busy and often tense society, the ability to communicate in a connecting way is invaluable. Communicating connectively helps you avoid misunderstandings and conflict, build empathy and understanding, and cultivate harmonious relationships.

It enables you to communicate more effectively, both in personal and professional situations, and fosters a culture of respect and cooperation. When someone wants certain needs met, it is important to know the best way to address them.

The goal of nonviolent communication

The ultimate goal of connecting communication is to create a safe and supportive environment in which people can communicate openly and feel heard and understood. It helps build trust, strengthen relationships and promote mutual respect.

Nonviolent communication helps break down barriers, reduce misunderstandings and work effectively together toward common goals. It can also work to see a particular need met, for example, by speaking openly and honestly about it.
