PURPOSE: This training is to prepare NVC practitioners to co-facilitate an Introduction to NVC Training.

WHO: We recommend that participants have taken the Intro. to NVC training or 2 NVC practice sessions, as well as trying to utilize NVC in your life experience. *Before co-facilitating a full Intro. to NVC we would recommend completing an Intro. to NVC training.

Nonviolent Communication (NVC), or Compassionate Communication, is a powerful tool for transforming and mediating interpersonal, intra-personal, organizational, and inter-group conflicts. It is used worldwide by activists, teachers, conflict specialists, doctors, diplomats, social workers, managers and others to improve their work and home life. The practice of NVC can help us understand ourselves more fully, provide us with a sense of power and choice in our lives, and open our hearts to compassionately connect and collaborate with others.

Objectives:
1) Facilitation Skills
2) Core NVC Topics and Frequently Asked Questions
3) Practice facilitating a segment(s) of an Intro. training and getting constructive feedback
