Nonviolent Communication

NVC FOUNDATION TWO - Empathic Listening for Connection

We all want to matter. Our ability to be present to ourselves and others with empathy and clarity can make the difference between a breakdown and a breakthrough. Once​ there is​ connection and understanding, so much more is possible.

Nonviolent Communication™ excels in providing practical ways to:

- Strengthen or repair relationships.

- Get to the heart of what is really the matter behind criticisms, resistance, and judgments.
