Details

Our words and actions are our best attempts to meet our needs. So when we connect with each other's needs, and people feel heard and understood, they are able to make changes that meet their needs even better. We will have lots of practice, so that Compassionate Communication could be used in any situation.

We will focus on
. Turning criticism, labeling of others into compassionate understanding

. Learning empathy with ourselves and others who are angry, hurt, scared, etc.

. Practicing empathy with a "No" we don't want to hear or are afraid to say

. Responding empathetically when we haven't met the needs of others

. Expressing needs that are not easy to express

We'll have demos, dialogues, discovery and lots of practice time. You'll be ready to put Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to use!
Call Moreah at 206-938-8385 with questions and registration.

Learn more at my site, www.communicationcoaching.net, or see many NVC resources at http://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/aboutnvc/aboutnvc.htm
I see Nonviolent Communication as my greatest hope for peace and harmony in the world.

We'll learn the process and practice connecting with feelings and needs.

Points

• Exploring our own unmet needs in difficult situations.
• Building our belief that both parties can get their needs met.
• Practicing so we feel confident in asking for what we want, and comfortable in hearing others' feelings and needs.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants more compassionate communication in all areas of their lives.
