Non-Violent Communication

 Communicate mindfully. Resolve conflicts. Express yourself fearlessly. 

Non-violent Communication is one of the areas Angus will be teaching during his workshops in Yamba and Sydney. It may be a new topic to some, so I thought I would shed some light on it.

According to Angus, non-violent communication (NVC as it's known) is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. This is due to its relevance to all of us - communicating is something we all do everyday time and time again. While some of it is positive, communication can often create misunderstanding and frustration, as we cannot clearly state what we truly want to say and feel.

NVC teaches that for centuries, our culture has taught us to communicate and think in ways that result in conflict. Unfortunately, while subtle or underlying, much of our communication is competitive, judgmental or demanding.

During the workshop you will learn how to communicate mindfully, without causing a fight! People who have learned NVC have found that they have a deeper understanding, can communicate honestly and feel more connection with others. You will learn techniques to transform conflict into outcomes which satisfy both parties. 

The workshop is based on the best-selling book of Dr Marshal Rosenburg. It is fascinating... The skills are described as revolutionary, yet simple. They can be easily assimilated into everyday situations. I'm sure you can think of a scenario at home/work/school where NVC could be used!

I'm sure you will find the workshop interesting, challenging and inspiring.
