Part of the Brave Conversations: Building Skills for Connection, Conflict, and Change Series.
Nonviolent Communication is an approach to human relationships that offers specific skills and tools that can support community building. Those who have studied Nonviolent Communication report it is both simple in its basic premises and models, yet full of nuance and flexibility that has contributed to its successful applications in many settings.
Applications of Nonviolent Communication for organizations include conflict resolution and mediation, giving and receiving effective feedback, supporting equitable workplaces, efficient meeting facilitation, and improving workplace culture. By learning the basic components of the Nonviolent Communication model, we can learn strategies to support empathic connection that helps to uncover what is deeply important to each member of a group and support collaboration to attend to the needs of all. In addition to the benefits in the workplace, users find that the concepts of Nonviolent Communication are also easily applied to their home lives, resulting in enhancements in work-life balance.
During this workshop introduces the value of Nonviolent Communication in the workplace. Participants receive a basic overview of two essential components of Nonviolent Communication and have an opportunity to immediately practice applying those components in an interactive exercise that promotes empathy and self-connection. Participants will leave the session inspired to deepen their knowledge.
