Effective Communication Foundations

Have you heard about Nonviolent Communication, read a little about it and would love to learn how to use it in your daily life? Are you looking for the right words to express yourself, and hear others in ways that create more connection instead of disconnection?

So often we are excited to learn a new skill like NVC, yet without ongoing support to practice we struggle to use it in real life. That is especially true for conflict situations, emotional discussions or anger outbursts.

Join our community of practice and bring NVC alive in all the areas of your life.

Through demonstrations, interactive role-plays, small group discussion and skilled coaching, you will be supported to integrate and naturalize the NVC empathic, needs-based language and consciousness in ways that are the most meaningful for you.

Carla’s course on Effective Communication was extremely interesting and eye-opening. I thought I was a good communicator before taking the class. Now I look at communicating in a new light. I get my needs met and the people I deal with seem happier too! Win/win! It is not easy, I still need to practice, but after 4 weeks there is a noticeable difference. I would definitely recommend this course to anybody.

In this workshop you’ll learn how to:

Apply the basic concepts and skills of NVC to real-life situations
Move beyond judgments of yourself and others to connect authentically
Ask for what you want in a clear way, and get to know yourself better
Speak in a way you will be heard and understood, and avoid power-struggles
Enhance the quality of your relationships

This workshop is ideal for those who:

Want to learn Effective Communication (NVC) and its practical skills
Want more fulfilling, authentic, and compassionate relationships
Would like to speak fearlessly their opinion and truth
Are open to transforming limiting habits or ways of communicating
Are committed to attending and being fully present during all four online sessions – (Will be recorded)

Prerequisite: Connecting Communication Foundations

Carla is a wonderfully bright and shining light in my life. With her guidance I have reacquainted myself with a life filled with love, laughter and joy. She holds a vast clinical, scientific and spiritual knowledge. She is authentic and articulate: a real treasure for anyone looking for personal transformation. I met Carla via her "Happy Children, Happy Home" workshop, where she taught the Non-Violent Communication process. She certainly helped me and my family to discover (or re-discover) how to live with more love, laughter and happiness.I can say though, that in working with Carla and learning NVC, life is much more pleasant and less stressful for us now than before...

NVC has given me the opportunity to identify my needs and I do now understand myself much better. The way I speak to myself changed completely. Taking this Connecting Communication course have created much more self-awareness. I do have better communication now with the people around me

NVC also assumes that we all share the same, basic human needs, and that all actions are a strategy to meet one or more of these needs. People who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication, Increased understanding, deepening connection and conflict resolution. The NVC community is active in over 65 countries around the globe.
