In this engaging 3-day training, you’ll be introduced to the foundations of Compassionate Communication (also known as Nonviolent Communication or NVC). Through interactive learning and real-world application, you’ll discover new insights, practical tools, and a fresh way of approaching communication.
Core Skills You’ll Develop:
🧏♂️ Deep Listening & Empathy – Recognise what creates connection and what blocks it
💬 Authentic Expression – Communicate in ways that help you be truly heard and stay aligned with who you are and what matters to you.
💕 Emotional Intelligence – Identify and honour feelings and needs in yourself and others
👥 Collaborative Relationships – Shift from power struggles to partnership dynamics
🙏 Effective Requests – Ask for what you need in ways that invite cooperation
What Makes This Course Special: There is space in the curriculum to explore how NVC principles can support you with real-life situations. Whether you’re navigating family dynamics, workplace tensions, or community conflicts, we’ll explore how NVC principles apply to your actual challenges.
This approach makes learning more engaging, immediately practical, and genuinely transformative. You’ll leave with tools you can use right away and insights that continue enriching your relationships long after the course ends.
