SUMMARY:Collaborative Feedback - Karen Starz\, MA\, MAEC\, CNVC Certified Trainer
DESCRIPTION:Feedback\, Evaluations\, Reviews! These words often conjure thoughts of criticism\, shame and fear. They also stimulate questions like “Was I good enough?” \, “How do I do better?” or “I think they hate me…” \nIf you’d like to have a new relationship with feedback\, evaluations and reviews then join this three week workshop.  The three weeks will be around how to give and receive feedback based in dialogue with each other. Using the principles of Nonviolent Communication\, Karen Starz\, CNVC Certified Trainer\, will guide us towards a shift in our perception when it comes to the employee review process. \nSome of the takeaways will be:\n\nskills or resourcing yourself before\, during and after feedback sessions\na new way to “review” employees\nimproved connection and productivity\nthe ability to pause\nability to make doable requests\nconnecting through power differences\n\nThe workshop will be 50% skills and knowledge and 50% practice. Since it is three sessions only\, the strong request is that you be present for all three. Once completed\, you will have access to an online practice group that meets weekly. \n\n  \nMore info and registration

SUMMARY:NVC Mediation Practice Group - Karen Starz and Michael Dillo
DESCRIPTION:You’ve got the skills\, you’ve taken the courses\, and have loads of information – it’s time to practice.\n \nWe will provide a place to work out life’s dramas\, conflicts over right and wrong\, and long-standing arguments in this live Mediation Practice Group. \nFacilitated by 2 CNVC Certified Trainers in a trusting environment\, everyone will get their turn to practice NVC-style guided conversation and mediation. \nYou’re eligible for the practice group if any of the following apply: \n\nIf you’ve taken our Mediation course OR \nIf you have at least 10 hours of NVC Mediation OR \nIf you have other experience that would lend to this practice\, please get in touch directly with Trainer Karen Starz to discuss the possibility of attending\n\n~~~\n \nFor six sessions over 12 weeks\, we will practice mediation in community from the perspective of a Nonviolent Communication consciousness. Guiding us through this journey are two CNVC Certified Trainers\, Michael Dillo and Karen Starz\, who have a passion to connect people in a human way so that they can enjoy contributing to each other’s wellbeing. \nIn this process\, when connection is valued rather than details\, solutions tend to come easily. Practice connecting using observations\, feelings\, needs\, and (doable) requests. Experience how connection is always available and accessible with patience. \nCome with an open mind and a willingness to share and practice. We will be using real-life experiences as role-play. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMichael Dillo\, Assessor and CNVC Certified Trainer\n \nMichael in his “first” life was a professor for civil engineering. In his PhD thesis he specialized in underground constructions and tunneling in rock\, what paved his way from his home country Germany to Switzerland in the early 1990’s. As much as he enjoyed living in this beautiful country\, he started to feel increasingly dissatisfied with his job as an engineer and was disheartened dealing with technical questions all day. He struggled with with fear of change and a lot of messages like: I “have” to pay for my family\, I “have” to finance my house\, my insurances\, my car\, the vacation… \nIn 1997 he was inspired to attend a workshop with Marshall B. Rosenberg to find some answers to his questions and fears. During the first three day-seminar\, he received some fundamental life-changing answers. However\, it took him quite a while to understand the difference between intellectually understanding NVC and internalizing it. For many years he began to connect with feelings and needs as he had never done in life before – he began to empathize with himself and others. \nIn 2002 trust in himself had grown so much that he was able to quit his engineering profession without feelings of fear or guilt. Again and again\, he was fascinated by and grateful for the experience that things\, people\, inspiration\, and even money come “by chance“. He has been a CNVC Certified Trainer since 2004 and started to work worldwide. In 2013 he was asked to join the CNVC Assessors Team of the German-speaking part of Switzerland and the CALF Team in the USA. He is passionate about supporting certification candidates on their path to deeply integrating NVC while heading for certification. \nSee more at www.frei-raeume.ch \n  \n\nKaren Starz MA\, MAEC\, and CNVC Certified Trainer \nKaren is a consultant\, coach\, speaker\, and facilitator. The connection with Marshall Rosenberg’s work and NVC came naturally and peaked further\, ongoing exploration into the foundations of NVC. Her background spans many areas\, from interpersonal relationships\, to businesses\, schools\, and non-profit organizations. Other services she provides include mediation\, conflict resolution\, and curriculum writing. Her approach to NVC is based on embodying the whole of nonviolent consciousness to create an automatic\, empathic\, somatic response and awareness. Karen aims to bring social change through learning\, and is particularly interested in the spiritual connection that NVC fosters. One way she embodies this aim by contributing as President of Houston NVC. \nSee more at www.karenstarz.com \n  \nWe will be meeting every Friday starting April 30th thru June 4th from 10 am – 12 pm Central Time (US)/ 5-7 pm Central European Time.  \nWe are offering a sliding scale for this series.\n\n$240 – The top price class ticket is the actual cost of the class. If you choose a ticket price below the top tier you are receiving a discount. \n$180 – The middle price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship. \n$120 – The bottom price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this class would be a hardship. \n$300 – The Pay-It-Forward price is above the actual cost of the class and that extra money goes towards supporting scholarships for this class. It’s an opportunity to take your class and support your fellow community members.\n \nPlease use this graphic if you need help to determine your scale.\n \n  \nWe are committed to making our workshops accessible to all. To request a payment plan or support\, email Karen Starz.

SUMMARY:NVC Mediation Practice Group - Karen Starz and Michael Dillo
DESCRIPTION:You’ve got the skills\, you’ve taken the courses\, and have loads of information – it’s time to practice.\n \nWe will provide a place to work out life’s dramas\, conflicts over right and wrong\, and long-standing arguments in this live Mediation Practice Group. \nFacilitated by 2 CNVC Certified Trainers in a trusting environment\, everyone will get their turn to practice NVC-style guided conversation and mediation. \nYou’re eligible for the practice group if any of the following apply: \n\nIf you’ve taken our Mediation course OR \nIf you have at least 10 hours of NVC Mediation OR \nIf you have other experience that would lend to this practice\, please get in touch directly with Trainer Karen Starz to discuss the possibility of attending\n\n~~~\n \nFor six sessions over 12 weeks\, we will practice mediation in community from the perspective of a Nonviolent Communication consciousness. Guiding us through this journey are two CNVC Certified Trainers\, Michael Dillo and Karen Starz\, who have a passion to connect people in a human way so that they can enjoy contributing to each other’s wellbeing. \nIn this process\, when connection is valued rather than details\, solutions tend to come easily. Practice connecting using observations\, feelings\, needs\, and (doable) requests. Experience how connection is always available and accessible with patience. \nCome with an open mind and a willingness to share and practice. We will be using real-life experiences as role-play. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMichael Dillo\, Assessor and CNVC Certified Trainer\n \nMichael in his “first” life was a professor for civil engineering. In his PhD thesis he specialized in underground constructions and tunneling in rock\, what paved his way from his home country Germany to Switzerland in the early 1990’s. As much as he enjoyed living in this beautiful country\, he started to feel increasingly dissatisfied with his job as an engineer and was disheartened dealing with technical questions all day. He struggled with with fear of change and a lot of messages like: I “have” to pay for my family\, I “have” to finance my house\, my insurances\, my car\, the vacation… \nIn 1997 he was inspired to attend a workshop with Marshall B. Rosenberg to find some answers to his questions and fears. During the first three day-seminar\, he received some fundamental life-changing answers. However\, it took him quite a while to understand the difference between intellectually understanding NVC and internalizing it. For many years he began to connect with feelings and needs as he had never done in life before – he began to empathize with himself and others. \nIn 2002 trust in himself had grown so much that he was able to quit his engineering profession without feelings of fear or guilt. Again and again\, he was fascinated by and grateful for the experience that things\, people\, inspiration\, and even money come “by chance“. He has been a CNVC Certified Trainer since 2004 and started to work worldwide. In 2013 he was asked to join the CNVC Assessors Team of the German-speaking part of Switzerland and the CALF Team in the USA. He is passionate about supporting certification candidates on their path to deeply integrating NVC while heading for certification. \nSee more at www.frei-raeume.ch \n  \n\nKaren Starz MA\, MAEC\, and CNVC Certified Trainer \nKaren is a consultant\, coach\, speaker\, and facilitator. The connection with Marshall Rosenberg’s work and NVC came naturally and peaked further\, ongoing exploration into the foundations of NVC. Her background spans many areas\, from interpersonal relationships\, to businesses\, schools\, and non-profit organizations. Other services she provides include mediation\, conflict resolution\, and curriculum writing. Her approach to NVC is based on embodying the whole of nonviolent consciousness to create an automatic\, empathic\, somatic response and awareness.

Guiding us through this journey are two CNVC Certified Trainers\, Karen Starz and Michael Dillo\, who have a passion to connect people in a human way so that they can enjoy contributing to each other’s wellbeing. \nIn this process\, when connection is valued rather than details\, solutions tend to come easily.

Come with an open mind and a willingness to share and practice. We will be using real-life experiences as role-play. Tools will be offered in presentations from Karen\, Michael & video-clips from Marshall B. Rosenberg. Participants will be able to practice individually in smaller groups in break out rooms. \nFor graduates of this mediation course\, we have a 6-week Mediation Practice Group starting April 30th\, 2021\, also 10 AM – 12 PM Central Time. \nWhen: Every other Friday from February 5th through April 16th\, from 10 am – 12 pm CT \nWhere: Online \nCost: The requested amount is $240 for the six-week series.

SUMMARY:NVC Mediation Practice Group - Karen Starz and Michael Dillo
DESCRIPTION:You’ve got the skills\, you’ve taken the courses\, and have loads of information – it’s time to practice.\n \nWe will provide a place to work out life’s dramas\, conflicts over right and wrong\, and long-standing arguments in this live Mediation Practice Group. \nFacilitated by 2 CNVC Certified Trainers in a trusting environment\, everyone will get their turn to practice NVC-style guided conversation and mediation. \nYou’re eligible for the practice group if any of the following apply: \n\nIf you’ve taken our Mediation course OR \nIf you have at least 10 hours of NVC Mediation OR \nIf you have other experience that would lend to this practice\, please get in touch directly with Trainer Karen Starz to discuss the possibility of attending\n\n~~~\n \nFor six sessions over 12 weeks\, we will practice mediation in community from the perspective of a Nonviolent Communication consciousness. Guiding us through this journey are two CNVC Certified Trainers\, Michael Dillo and Karen Starz\, who have a passion to connect people in a human way so that they can enjoy contributing to each other’s wellbeing. \nIn this process\, when connection is valued rather than details\, solutions tend to come easily. Practice connecting using observations\, feelings\, needs\, and (doable) requests. Experience how connection is always available and accessible with patience. \nCome with an open mind and a willingness to share and practice. We will be using real-life experiences as role-play. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMichael Dillo\, Assessor and CNVC Certified Trainer\n \nMichael in his “first” life was a professor for civil engineering. In his PhD thesis he specialized in underground constructions and tunneling in rock\, what paved his way from his home country Germany to Switzerland in the early 1990’s. As much as he enjoyed living in this beautiful country\, he started to feel increasingly dissatisfied with his job as an engineer and was disheartened dealing with technical questions all day. He struggled with with fear of change and a lot of messages like: I “have” to pay for my family\, I “have” to finance my house\, my insurances\, my car\, the vacation… \nIn 1997 he was inspired to attend a workshop with Marshall B. Rosenberg to find some answers to his questions and fears. During the first three day-seminar\, he received some fundamental life-changing answers. However\, it took him quite a while to understand the difference between intellectually understanding NVC and internalizing it. For many years he began to connect with feelings and needs as he had never done in life before – he began to empathize with himself and others. \nIn 2002 trust in himself had grown so much that he was able to quit his engineering profession without feelings of fear or guilt. Again and again\, he was fascinated by and grateful for the experience that things\, people\, inspiration\, and even money come “by chance“. He has been a CNVC Certified Trainer since 2004 and started to work worldwide. In 2013 he was asked to join the CNVC Assessors Team of the German-speaking part of Switzerland and the CALF Team in the USA. He is passionate about supporting certification candidates on their path to deeply integrating NVC while heading for certification. \nSee more at www.frei-raeume.ch \n  \n\nKaren Starz MA\, MAEC\, and CNVC Certified Trainer \nKaren is a consultant\, coach\, speaker\, and facilitator. The connection with Marshall Rosenberg’s work and NVC came naturally and peaked further\, ongoing exploration into the foundations of NVC. Her background spans many areas\, from interpersonal relationships\, to businesses\, schools\, and non-profit organizations. Other services she provides include mediation\, conflict resolution\, and curriculum writing. Her approach to NVC is based on embodying the whole of nonviolent consciousness to create an automatic\, empathic\, somatic response and awareness. Karen aims to bring social change through learning\, and is particularly interested in the spiritual connection that NVC fosters. One way she embodies this aim by contributing as President of Houston NVC. \nSee more at www.karenstarz.com \n  \nWe will be meeting every other Friday starting February 12th through April 23rd from 10 am – 12 pm Central Time (US)/ 5-7 pm Central European Time.\nNote: on March 26th the meeting time will be 4-6pm Central European Time because of Daylight Savings Time in the Central (US) Time zone. Subsequent meetings return to the 5-7 pm CET time.  \nWe are offering a sliding scale for this series.\n\n$240 – The top price class ticket is the actual cost of the class. If you choose a ticket price below the top tier you are receiving a discount. \n$180 – The middle price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship. \n$120 – The bottom price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this class would be a hardship. \n$300 – The Pay-It-Forward price is above the actual cost of the class and that extra money goes towards supporting scholarships for this class. It’s an opportunity to take your class and support your fellow community members.\n \nPlease use this graphic if you need help to determine your scale.\n \n  \nWe are committed to making our workshops accessible to all. To request a payment plan or support\, email Karen Starz.

DESCRIPTION:You’ve got the skills\, you’ve taken the courses\, and have loads of information – it’s time to practice.\n \nWe will provide a place to work out life’s dramas\, conflicts over right and wrong\, and long-standing arguments in this live Mediation Practice Group. \nFacilitated by 2 CNVC Certified Trainers in a trusting environment\, everyone will get their turn to practice NVC-style guided conversation and mediation. \nYou’re eligible for the practice group if any of the following apply: \n\nIf you’ve taken our Mediation course OR \nIf you have at least 10 hours of NVC Mediation OR \nIf you have other experience that would lend to this practice\, please get in touch directly with Trainer Karen Starz to discuss the possibility of attending\n\n~~~\n \nFor six sessions over 12 weeks\, we will practice mediation in community from the perspective of a Nonviolent Communication consciousness. Guiding us through this journey are two CNVC Certified Trainers\, Michael Dillo and Karen Starz\, who have a passion to connect people in a human way so that they can enjoy contributing to each other’s wellbeing. \nIn this process\, when connection is valued rather than details\, solutions tend to come easily. Practice connecting using observations\, feelings\, needs\, and (doable) requests. Experience how connection is always available and accessible with patience. \nCome with an open mind and a willingness to share and practice. We will be using real-life experiences as role-play. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMichael Dillo\, Assessor and CNVC Certified Trainer\n \nMichael in his “first” life was a professor for civil engineering. In his PhD thesis he specialized in underground constructions and tunneling in rock\, what paved his way from his home country Germany to Switzerland in the early 1990’s. As much as he enjoyed living in this beautiful country\, he started to feel increasingly dissatisfied with his job as an engineer and was disheartened dealing with technical questions all day. He struggled with with fear of change and a lot of messages like: I “have” to pay for my family\, I “have” to finance my house\, my insurances\, my car\, the vacation… \nIn 1997 he was inspired to attend a workshop with Marshall B. Rosenberg to find some answers to his questions and fears. During the first three day-seminar\, he received some fundamental life-changing answers. However\, it took him quite a while to understand the difference between intellectually understanding NVC and internalizing it. For many years he began to connect with feelings and needs as he had never done in life before – he began to empathize with himself and others. \nIn 2002 trust in himself had grown so much that he was able to quit his engineering profession without feelings of fear or guilt. Again and again\, he was fascinated by and grateful for the experience that things\, people\, inspiration\, and even money come “by chance“. He has been a CNVC Certified Trainer since 2004 and started to work worldwide. In 2013 he was asked to join the CNVC Assessors Team of the German-speaking part of Switzerland and the CALF Team in the USA. He is passionate about supporting certification candidates on their path to deeply integrating NVC while heading for certification. \nSee more at www.frei-raeume.ch \n  \n\nKaren Starz MA\, MAEC\, and CNVC Certified Trainer \nKaren is a consultant\, coach\, speaker\, and facilitator. The connection with Marshall Rosenberg’s work and NVC came naturally and peaked further\, ongoing exploration into the foundations of NVC. Her background spans many areas\, from interpersonal relationships\, to businesses\, schools\, and non-profit organizations. Other services she provides include mediation\, conflict resolution\, and curriculum writing. Her approach to NVC is based on embodying the whole of nonviolent consciousness to create an automatic\, empathic\, somatic response and awareness. Karen aims to bring social change through learning\, and is particularly interested in the spiritual connection that NVC fosters. One way she embodies this aim by contributing as President of Houston NVC. \nSee more at www.karenstarz.com \n  \nWe will be meeting every other Friday starting February 12th through April 23rd from 10 am – 12 pm Central Time (US)/ 5-7 pm Central European Time.\nNote: on March 26th the meeting time will be 4-6pm Central European Time because of Daylight Savings Time in the Central (US) Time zone. Subsequent meetings return to the 5-7 pm CET time.  \nWe are offering a sliding scale for this series.\n\n$240 – The top price class ticket is the actual cost of the class. If you choose a ticket price below the top tier you are receiving a discount. \n$180 – The middle price is for those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship. \n$120 – The bottom price is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for this class would be a hardship. \n$300 – The Pay-It-Forward price is above the actual cost of the class and that extra money goes towards supporting scholarships for this class. It’s an opportunity to take your class and support your fellow community members.\n \nPlease use this graphic if you need help to determine your scale.\n \n  \nWe are committed to making our workshops accessible to all. To request a payment plan or support\, email Karen Starz.

SUMMARY:NVC and the Religious Experience–Karen Starz & Jamil Popatia
DESCRIPTION:The founder and author of Nonviolent Communication\, the late Marshall Rosenberg\, was deeply interested in the common thread found in the world’s great religions and wisdom traditions. Drawing from some of them\, Rosenberg was able to language some of the core beliefs and values as universal human needs; the heart of Nonviolent Communication. Despite this\, the topic of religion and its potentiality within the framework and paradigm of NVC remains largely unexplored in circles of learning and teaching of Nonviolent Communication. \nHoustonNVC invites you to explore the intersection of religion with Nonviolent Communication in this unique course offered online this winter. The content and structure will build upon the Religion and NVC course offered in the fall of 2020\, although having attended the first course is not a prerequisite. Sessions will be led by 2 seasoned Facilitators/Trainers who have spent much of their adult lives in search of beauty and meaning aligning their unique religious beliefs with the practice and spirit of Nonviolent Communication. \nAll belief systems are welcome whether they are religious\, secular\, or atheistic. You’re invited to bring tough questions and have courageous dialogue. \nDates: Tuesdays from February 2nd through March 9th\, from 7-9 pm CT \nCost: $290\nPayment plans available upon request. \nRegistration
