COURSE CONTENT

We will cover and practice the four key skills of the NVC model that will act as anchors to transforming your usual way of thinking and speaking

Skill 1 - knowing the difference between a ‘clean’ observation and one mixed with evaluation and why this is a liberating act in itself!
Skill 2 - Developing a feelings and emotions literacy to help you communicate without blame and to have better guesses at others’ feelings.
Skill 3 - Developing a needs literacy to help you know what you need and to communicate them without ‘hooks’ that push people away rather than inspire support.
Skill 4 - Learning the art of making a good request, whilst being able to hear a no without giving up on your needs and without demanding. Also being able to hear another’s request of you and finding your willingness or your no.
