Ron first trained in NVC in 2001 with Dr. Marshall Rosenberg in Puerto Rico and California. He is a certified trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication and has been providing training in Aotearoa since his return from overseas in 2003.
In 2010 Ron took time off from providing NVC workshops to complete a PhD related to Māori spirituality and wellbeing through Massey University, which was conferred in 2016. He has a particular interest in supporting the revitalisation of the Māori language through the development of emotional literacy in Te Reo Māori.
Ron has provided workshops for various groups and organisations across the country, including Waikato youth mentoring programmes, Lifeline counsellors, problem gambling services, domestic violence workers, Group Special Education Services for the Ministry of Education, and business managers and employees.
He has found NVC to be an invaluable aid in helping people heal conflict, whether it be in business, politics, race relations, education, or personal relationships. Ron is available for group and personal training and support.

I whakangungu tuatahi a Ron ki te NVC i te tau 2001 me Takuta Marshall Rosenberg i Puerto Rico me California. He kaiwhakangungu whaimana ia ki te Center for Nonviolent Communication, a, e whakangungu ana ia ki Aotearoa mai i tana hokinga mai i tawahi i te tau 2003.
I te tau 2010 i whakatā a Ron i te whakarato awheawhe NVC ki te whakaoti i te tohu PhD e pa ana ki te taha wairua me te oranga o te iwi Maori na roto i te Whare Wananga o Massey, i whakawhiwhia i te tau 2016. He tino hiahia ia ki te tautoko i te whakarauoratanga o te reo Maori na roto i te whakawhanaketanga o te reo matatini o te hinengaro. Te Reo Māori.
Kua whakaratohia e Ron nga awheawhe mo nga roopu me nga whakahaere puta noa i te motu, tae atu ki nga kaupapa whakangungu rangatahi o Waikato, nga Kaitohutohu Lifeline, nga ratonga petipeti raruraru, nga kaimahi whakarekereke whare, Roopu Ratonga Matauranga Motuhake mo te Tahuhu o te Matauranga, me nga kaiwhakahaere pakihi me nga kaimahi.
Kua kitea e ia he tino awhina a NVC ki te awhina i nga tangata ki te whakaora i nga raruraru, ahakoa i roto i nga pakihi, i nga mahi torangapu, i nga whanaungatanga iwi, i te matauranga, i nga hononga whaiaro ranei. Kei te waatea a Ron mo te whakangungu me te tautoko a te roopu me te whaiaro.
Ko tō manawa ko tōku manawa

“Your heart is my heart, your breath is my breath, your spirit is my spirit / Ko to ngakau toku ngakau, ko to manawa toku manawa, ko to wairua toku wairua”
