This foundation course consists of eight sessions, each lasting three hours. Each session involves exploring new learnings, having the chance to observe and participate with the trainer as I demonstrate how they work, and then practicing them in smaller group breakout rooms. Throughout this course, you will engage in skill-building activities with your peers between sessions. Additionally, suggested reading and at-home exercises will complement the online course. 

For this course I use a sliding scale.  You pay between €350-€700 depending on what you are able and willing to give. Businesses are requested to pay the highest fee. If you are a start-up or freelancer, choose the amount that fits.

We will cover the following areas:

*Recognizing judgments and uncovering underlying needs
*Distinguishing between observation and evaluation (judging)
*Connecting with and expressing feelings
*The shift from strategies to needs
*Formulating requests
*Empathic listening
*Self-connection and honest expression
*The art of dialogue
*Expressing gratitude and appreciation

By the end of the course, you will have learned and practiced skills in self-connection, empathic listening, and honest expression, using the 4-step model of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) developed by Marshall Rosenberg. This will support the integration of a needs-based language, fostering increased connection, clarity, and compassion in your life!  You receive a certificate at the end of the course for completing 24 hours training with a certified trainer.
