Vine Coaching & Training - Opleidingsinstituut Geweldloos Communiceren: Foundation and Deepening Trainings, Connective, Nonviolent Communication 2012
Nonviolent communication (NVC), also known as connective or compassionate communication, is an intrapersonal and interpersonal process developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, in the 1960s and '70s. It focuses on two aspects of communication: honest self-expression, in a way that is likely to inspire compassion in others, and empathy, defined as listening with deep compassion. I have been trained by Certified Nonviolent Communication Trainer Jan van Koert. Additionally, I have been studying and practising Integrated Clarity, empathic connection expert Marie Miyashiro's vision on NVC in the workplace. Moreover, I have been attending Marie's Six Universal Organisational Needs and Applied NVC trainings. To further fathom how to meet both human and organisational needs at the same time.
