SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) 8 Week Series
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to create more joy in your life?\n  \nDo you want to transform conflicts into: \n\n\n\nSelf-awareness and choices in life?\nConnection with children\, family and friends?\nCollaboration and win-win situations at work?\n\n\n\n  \nIf you answered yes to any question above\, come join the upcoming “Fundamentals of NonViolent Communication” course! NVC offers tools to help us evolve steadily towards collaborative and respectful relationships — enhancing peace\, understanding\, synergy\, productivity and creativity. \n  \nThis course is co-facilitated by four Center for NonViolent Communication Certification Candidates.  This is a new initiative by Houston NVC to support future leaders in NVC. Come support our candidates and the vision of Marshall Rosenberg\, founder of NVC! \n  \nWhat is this? \n  \nThis is a highly interactive\, discussion-based exploration of Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life\, 3rd Ed.” (Puddle Dancer Press\, 2015). Rosenberg’s compassionate communication framework is a powerful tool we can use to make authentic\, heart-to-heart connections. Being heard\, understood and accepted is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer one another. It is also a gift that those around us desperately need. \n  \nTogether\, we will form an online learning community in which we can apply what we’ve read about with real people in real conversation. This community provides an opportunity to create peace in the world by creating peace within ourselves\, as well as between ourselves and all with whom we speak. Reading\, reflection\, and review homework provide participants with the opportunity to make the most of the weekly online interactions\, which will focus on practice and application. \n  \nWhat are the expected outcomes for participants?\n  \n\n\n\nExperience less painful and shorter conflicts\nMove from conflict to mutual strategies\nSpend more time in connection with others and yourself\nHave more awareness of your needs\, wants and desires\nHave your needs expressed and understood\nTranslate accusations into dialogues & requests\nIncrease harmony and understanding among others\nStay more centered\, open and effective in conflicts\nHave more fun\, joy and pleasure in relationships and in life\n\n\n\n  \nWho is this for?\n  \nThis is an excellent foundational workshop for the beginner or a sound refresher for returning practitioners. The people who will get the most out of the experience are those who read along in advance of each week’s session and come ready and willing to risk trying the things they read about in a real conversation with a real person. \n  \nWhen will this series of events occur?\n  \nWe will be meeting remotely via Zoom Sundays November 28\, 2021 to January 30 2022\, from 10am to 12 pm Central/Houston Time. There will be no sessions on December 26\, 2021 and January 2\, 2022. \n  \nWhat is unique about this course? \n  \nThe November 2021 edition of this course will be offered by a team of four facilitators. Members of this team come from different cultural and professional backgrounds. They live in four different continents\, spanning across four time zones\, and speaking eleven languages among them. They enthusiastically call themselves a group of “United Friends of NVC”! Participants are sure to get a truly cross-cultural experience of NVC.  \n  \nLearn More About Your Facilitators\n  \nSiddharth Shah \nSiddharth Shah\, calls himself SID\, short for Sensitive In Directness! This is his eternal struggle and an aspiration for himself. NVC is a means for him to live this sensitivity without being indirect or compromising his authenticity. Sid is a founder of AneKant Labs. AneKant is a term from Jainism which means there are multiple realities/perspectives to our experiences. Understanding others’ perspectives is at the heart of empathy and compassion. Sid gives the gift of multiple perspectives to his clients through his work in coaching and facilitation. He is on a mission to reduce hate and spread compassion in his area of influence.                                            Email: siddharth1389@gmail.com  Website: anekantlabs.org \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDr. Mark A Friedman \n  \nDr. Mark A.

On the CNVC Certification path\, NVC has been a way to invite a sense of choice and freedom in her work and life\, connecting more deeply with herself\, others and the systemic world around hers. Having lived in 9 different countries\, she has developed a deep appreciation for different perspectives and cultures and feels “at home” facilitating NVC in different languages and environments – from corporations to groups\, exploring  together ways to apply and integrate Nonviolent Communication into daily life challenges\, relationships\,  business\, education\, parenting\, trauma and social change. \nInstagram: @lu_o_martins \n  \n  \n  \n  \nKevin SL Wong \n  \nKevin SL Wong – Kevin is a Hong Kong Chinese native currently residing in Berlin\, Germany.  He had years of experience being drowned out by conflicts at work\, as a software product manager in data science. He had zero clue how others gave feedback on him being “too nice” whilst at the same time being “too much of a pain to work with”. NVC changed everything as Kevin grew in self acceptance\, and confidence in relating to others. Currently\, he is a coach aspiring to transform the workplace with NVC. He dreams of spreading NVC someday to Chinese speaking communities around the world. \nEmail: kevin@begleitung.me  Website: begleitung.me \n  \n  \nWhat is the tuition for this course?\n  \nThe requested tuition is $180 USD per participant for the 8 week series.

SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) 8 Week Series
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to create more joy in your life?\n  \nDo you want to transform conflicts into: \n\n\n\nSelf-awareness and choices in life?\nConnection with children\, family and friends?\nCollaboration and win-win situations at work?\n\n\n\n  \nIf you answered yes to any question above\, come join the upcoming “Fundamentals of NonViolent Communication” course! NVC offers tools to help us evolve steadily towards collaborative and respectful relationships — enhancing peace\, understanding\, synergy\, productivity and creativity. \n  \nThis course is co-facilitated by four Center for NonViolent Communication Certification Candidates.  This is a new initiative by Houston NVC to support future leaders in NVC. Come support our candidates and the vision of Marshall Rosenberg\, founder of NVC! \n  \nWhat is this? \n  \nThis is a highly interactive\, discussion-based exploration of Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication: a Language of Life\, 3rd Ed.” (Puddle Dancer Press\, 2015). Rosenberg’s compassionate communication framework is a powerful tool we can use to make authentic\, heart-to-heart connections. Being heard\, understood and accepted is one of the most powerful gifts we can offer one another. It is also a gift that those around us desperately need. \n  \nTogether\, we will form an online learning community in which we can apply what we’ve read about with real people in real conversation. This community provides an opportunity to create peace in the world by creating peace within ourselves\, as well as between ourselves and all with whom we speak. Reading\, reflection\, and review homework provide participants with the opportunity to make the most of the weekly online interactions\, which will focus on practice and application. \n  \nWhat are the expected outcomes for participants?\n  \n\n\n\nExperience less painful and shorter conflicts\nMove from conflict to mutual strategies\nSpend more time in connection with others and yourself\nHave more awareness of your needs\, wants and desires\nHave your needs expressed and understood\nTranslate accusations into dialogues & requests\nIncrease harmony and understanding among others\nStay more centered\, open and effective in conflicts\nHave more fun\, joy and pleasure in relationships and in life\n\n\n\n  \nWho is this for?\n  \nThis is an excellent foundational workshop for the beginner or a sound refresher for returning practitioners. The people who will get the most out of the experience are those who read along in advance of each week’s session and come ready and willing to risk trying the things they read about in a real conversation with a real person. \n  \nWhen will this series of events occur?\n  \nWe will be meeting remotely via Zoom Sundays November 28\, 2021 to January 30 2022\, from 10am to 12 pm Central/Houston Time. There will be no sessions on December 26\, 2021 and January 2\, 2022. \n  \nWhat is unique about this course? \n  \nThe November 2021 edition of this course will be offered by a team of four facilitators. Members of this team come from different cultural and professional backgrounds. They live in four different continents\, spanning across four time zones\, and speaking eleven languages among them. They enthusiastically call themselves a group of “United Friends of NVC”! Participants are sure to get a truly cross-cultural experience of NVC.  \n  \nLearn More About Your Facilitators\n  \nSiddharth Shah \nSiddharth Shah\, calls himself SID\, short for Sensitive In Directness!
