Focus

Dr. Marshall Rosenberg’s process of Nonviolent Communication has gained worldwide

recognition as a tool for turning even the most volatile situations into a natural interchange of

compassion, generosity, and mutual enrichment.

We all find ourselves in situations where too often we resort to the same old patterns of

behavior—defending our need to be right, refusing to really listen, and speaking cruelly out of

anger and frustration, or worse.

Nonviolent Communication provides us with the essential tools, techniques and insight to be

more empathic, be in touch with our emotions and needs and convey them in a manner that is

respectful and assertive.
