So
what is NVC?
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a life-changing way of interacting
that facilitates the flow of communication needed to exchange information
and resolve differences peacefully. With its focus on human feelings
and needs, the practice of NVC emphasizes emotional intelligence over
intellectual analysis in expressing what's going on in people.
With
its reliance on objective observations rather than evaluations NVC
avoids making people defend themselves from value-laden judgments.
And finally, by employing clear requests in place of demands, NVC
raises the bar for communication skills by allowing everyone to get
their needs met on their own terms, without coercion, fear of retribution,
or loss of self-esteem.(For more details http://www.cnvc.org)
"When
we hear the other person's feelings and needs, we recognize our
common humanity."
