"Nonviolent Communication, a.k.a. NVC, a.k.a. Needs and Values Consciousness."
"HEARTALK" is the business name I use for sharing Nonviolent Communication (NVC). This "Language of Life" offers techniques for listening to and speaking from the heart--for "Communicating to Connect." How we hear and talk with others can connect or distance us--the heart knows. This is also true for how we communicate with ourselves. Choose Nonviolent Communication only if your intention is for connection. NVC is a path to being honest and kind at the same time.
“‘This is not a technique to use to show that you are nonjudgmental; it is about being nonjudgmental.’ (Quote from a workshop participant.)”

Empowering Self and Others: Relate to those with lesser power such that they don’t hear demands. Relate to those with more power without submitting or rebelling.
“Rather than telling others what you would like them to do differently, tell others what you need. The former is often heard as though you judge them as wrong, dislike, or disrespect them. In this context, “need” is defined as the universal longing or life force that we share with all humans. We all share needs for: Peace & Safety, Love & Belonging, Truth & Autonomy, and Joy & Possibility.”
