Testimonials

“I didn’t realize NVC would work so well in my classroom. I thought it would take forever for me to ‘perfect’ my technique and that I would never ‘get’ it. As soon as I got to my class Monday, one of my boys began to tell me how he liked the former teacher better than me. I did empathic listening and learned that he does not like me to raise my voice. He agreed to give me a signal to take a time out and breathe, but in return he has to listen to know when I am speaking too loudly. Plus my sore throat is gone. In short, we got a lot of work done that day because we weren’t wasting it in combat and were on the same page instead.”

“Relevant. Well presented with a sound underlying educational model (i.e. Nonviolent Communication).”
