Workshop Introduction

How many times has an unsatisfactory and all-to-familiar conversation left you saying to yourself, "This just isn't working"? You're probably right. It isn't working ... not for you, and not for the other person either.

Your tone, word choice, and body language speak volumes. What you're trying to achieve, how you're going about doing it and how it's finally being heard by others might be completely out of sync. Maybe it's time to learn a new language - a language that helps you say what's on your mind in a way that doesn't alienate and frustrate.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) encourages open and honest dialogue that can help anyone - boss, employee, partner, parent -  have his or her input considered and valued without loss of self-esteem, build-up of resentment, coercion, or fear of retribution.

Whether you face conflicts and challenges at home or in the workplace, attending an NVC workshop may be one of the most rewarding decisions you ever make.
