Subject: Non Violent Communication

Do you ever feel you could do with a new strategy for dealing with difficult behaviour?  Feel like you could get a better deal for yourself in work, family or intimate relationships?  This is the tool.

A few months ago I received a link to the videos you can find at the bottom of this email.  Try one.

I was instantly struck by the insight of Marshall Rosenberg and greedily gulped down a few hours of his online workshops.  In the short time I've been practicing NVC I've observed an enormous improvement in all my relationships.  NVC strikes me as singularly the most powerful tool for effecting positive change both personally and globally, communication being the meeting point between all living things.  As such, I've made it a priority to master this particular skill as soon as possible.  

In the short time I've been working with other people who have also engaged with this technique, I've caught a glimpse of what I've always believed was achievable, the unlocking of human potential where differences are not just put aside but evaporated in the light of clear communication.

I now consider NVC to be fundamental to the operation of any truly effective team.

Although it may, at first sight, all seem a bit a bit fluffy or utopian... don't be fooled.  Catchphrases associated with NVC include "no compromise" and "don't be nice, be real".

I could go on and on but basically I'm suggesting that NVC could be the key to unlocking a whole new level of happiness in our lives.  There's no guru, no dogma, no sign-up fee and no holds barred (sic).

Non Violent Communication:

If you could be interested in taking part in a group that is going to develop their understanding and practise of NonViolent Communication (also known as "compassionate communication" or "how to get what you want") please read on:

Introductory Session:

We've organised a one day seminar which will be lead by accredited NVC facilitator, Andy Mason, who is totally committed to this work and has kindly agreed to facilitate the day on a donation basis...

We'd love to have an idea of the numbers attending this one day seminar so please let us know if you intend to come. (max 20 participants)

Groupwork:

For those who come away from the seminar inspired to deepen their understanding, we're setting up at least one group of between 4 and 12 participants who'll meet up weekly to develop these skills.

Hi Hamid

well done for organising  another group - I wish you all well, but I too will soon be  starting  an evening  class on a  Wednesday so won't be  able to make.

May  all your needs for  communication, support, sharing and  much more be  met

Linda
