Building Communication Skills

Nonviolent Communication evolved from an intense interest in two issues that I had.

And secondly, I wanted to understand better what kind of education fits our efforts to remain compassionate - which I think is our nature - even when others act violently or exploitably.

All relationships take time and effort to make it work, but often and very understandably so, the daily demands and distractions of life make it tempting to simply look the other way (usually to the smartphone) and think “perhaps this is as good as it gets”.

Authors of Life Unscripted, Jeff Katzman and Dan O'Connor, have created a process they call ensembling that helps us build an ensemble of relationships in our lives and more deeply enjoy the groups we already belong to. This is a process of becoming a little vulnerable with each other, and of embracing the moment in which we find ourselves. Drawing on concepts from narrative improvisational theatre and depth psychology, the authors present us with the skills we need to connect with each other more actively and meaningfully.
