Differences are as inevitable as waves on an ocean. In our families, workplaces, and communities we struggle with how to communicate effectively and resolve problems. Communicating successfully starts with adequate training in both listening and self-expression.
Join this day-long workshop based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg, called Nonviolent Communication, and explore how to:
* Listen to ourselves to understand our own needs behind our behavior.
* Listen to others to hear their needs.
* Transform conflicts into opportunities for building connection and trust.
