What are the benefits of NVC • Improve cooperation by listening so others are really heard
and speak so others can really hear you • Transform conflict into jointly arrived at solutions rather than
compromise • Prevent future pain and misunderstanding • Receive someone's anger without taking it personally • Transform your anger before it leads to behavior you'll
regret • Live your life by choice rather than by should and guilt • Care for your own needs with compassion

Non Violent Communication 1. OBSERVATION: Objectively describing what is going on without using evaluation, moralistic judgment, interpretation or diagnosis. 2. FEELING: Saying how you feel (emotions and body sensations) about what you have observed without assigning blame. 3. NEEDS: The basic human needs that are or not being met and are the source of feelings. 4. REQUEST: We are responsible to ask for what we want. State a Clear request for actions that can meet our needs.

NVC IN ACTION VICTIM: I got an email complaining to me about you cancelling our workshop at the last minute. (assigning blame with no suggested resolution)
EMPOWERED: I felt disappointed when you cancelled my workshop 12 hours before the event because I value my reputation and my need for being in integrity was compromised. In the future, can you commit to giving me and participants at least a week notice?

NVC CREATES FREEDOM Aggressive: When you demand something from someone. They get defensive.
Passive Aggressive: Take something away as a form of punishment.
Freeze: Do nothing. Shut down.
Freedom: Take responsibility and make a request to have your needs met and are FREE.

How to Develop Our Need Literacy 1) When we judge ourselves what do we say? Ex: What a dumb thing to do? (What sEmulated that). What is the need behind that? I need to be valued. Note: All judgments are from unmet needs.
2) When I judge others what do I say? They are ignoring me. What need is not being met? I have a need to be heard. 3) What do people say that we answer defensively or aggressively? What people have said to us or that we are scared they might say? People closest to us MIRROR our own internal dialogue.

When People Are Upset
• What are you needing?
• What are you requesting from me in this moment?

Tragic Communication
• Anytime we imply wrongness in someone else.
• We decrease getting what we want. • We increase the tendency for violence. • See handout to convert feeling to a need.
