Nonviolent Communication Workshops

Service Description

In this interactive workshop we will learn practical tools for building communication rooted in trust and cooperation. Combining large group discussion and small group practice, we will learn the basic tenets of NVC (Nonviolent Communication), calling in the lived experience of participants in the group. NVC is a powerful tool for building courageous and resilient teams. In the workshop, we will learn tools for: - Building open communication through a commitment to every person’s authenticity. - Speaking honestly about the “hard” things - strategies for speaking openly about topics that are simmering just below the surface in a healthy and respectful manner. - How to stay in self-connection in moments of conflict or tension. - Growing our capacity for empathy and understanding for others while not losing ourselves. - Optimizing processes for authentic and efficient feedback to one another that promotes a growth mindset while cultivating psychological safety. This workshop is perfect for any team or group looking for tools to support them through struggles with conflicts and patterns of misunderstandings and miscommunication, or with feelings of mistrust or disconnection on a team. It is also great for a team that wants to bring more attention and skill to the way the group communicates with one another. **This workshop is aimed at providing tools for teams to work with on your own. If you are interested in support in a more in depth process of facilitation of a team conflict, please see the facilitation page.
