Challenged with communication? NOT speaking up because:
~You fear you’ll just make it worse? Especially with loved ones?? Or at the workplace?
~You Say “Yes” when you really mean “NO!”? Becoming a “Yes, Dear”?
~It’s hard Hold on to YOURSELF"? (I.e. “stand your ground” and speak authentically)
~You haven't yet found YOUR OWN VOICE? Communication basics will help!

cation (www.cnvc.org) is a simple yet powerful 4-step communication process that can be used immediately to connect to the spirit of love and generosity within us so that we can more easily contribute to the well-being of everyone we relate to! The POWER of words can’t be underestimated! Our words have the power to create profound healing-or incredible suffering-yet even with the best of intentions; it is often difficult to express ourselves in ways that build harmony and trust. Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org) can be used immediately to connect to the spirit of love and generosity within us so that we can more easily contribute to the well-being of everyone we relate to! How we understand our experiences of reality (with the words we think) and then share that understanding (with the words we speak) will impact, and often even generate, our experiences of reality!

NOTE: PLEASE BRING YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES AS MATERIAL TO WORK ON! The Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process, also known as empathic or compassionate communication, is a simple yet powerful four-step communication model that facilitates speaking and listening from the heart. Compassionate and empowered communication supports speaking and listening to others that inspires self-responsibility, mutual respect, connection, and cooperation. The purpose of NVC is to inspire compassion from others and to respond compassionately to others, thereby enabling mutually respectful connection on a needs-based human level. NVC guides us to reframe how we express ourselves and how we hear others without shaming, blaming, judging, or criticizing. We communicate instead by focusing on the 4- steps of the model which are: observing, feeling, needing, and requesting.
>> You are encouraged to bring your current communication challenges as material to work on in the workshop! Please join me! My intention is that this will assist you in connecting warmly with all your relationships at home with family & friends, in the workplace with bosses & co-workers…and anywhere in your daily lives!
