COMMUNICATION SKILLS & EFFECTIVE LISTENING TOOLS
From Pathways to Compassion
I offer practical and powerful tools and communication skills that support people in changing unproductive thought and behavior patterns into self-understanding, a sense of purpose, and respect for others.
Compassionate Communication offers a clear process, along with language and effective listening skills that point us toward connecting to our own and others' values and needs. We develop the ability to:
Recognize and become responsible for our own feelings and needs, and increase our ability to take creative and effective action in meeting our needs.
Hear others fully, increasing connection and trust in relationships.
Discover creative solutions that consider the needs of everyone involved.
Experience increased honesty, authenticity, aliveness, and joy in our lives and relationships.
The primary focus of my work is the skills, tools, and process of Compassionate Communication, based on the model of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), developed by psychologist Marshall Rosenberg during the 1970's. NVC facilitators have helped negotiate understanding between individuals, and within families, communities, and nations.
