Just listening

A few words and a poem on listening with presence by Kathy Ziola.

Compassionate Communication

Compassionate communication is an expression of care and empathy. When understanding and empathy goes both ways, that warm sense of connection and flow comes alive, and our hearts open.

Just a few thoughts about being right.

Sample workshop of Nonviolent Communication

Experience a conversation 3 ways, without any use of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), with one person using NVC, and with both using NVC.

NVC has changed my life. NVC has transformed me from the inside out. Every human interaction I have now is different for me because of NVC. I feel different in the world and different in my relationship to myself and my relationship with others. I will study and practice NVC for the rest of my life.

I enjoyed every session very much. A great opportunity to move into the work in progress. The exploration was good in a small group. Grateful for the opportunity. Willing to do more classes like this. I find it works for me.

Kathy’s Non-Violent Communication workshop offers a new way to think about communicating. The approach is thoughtful, do-able and repeatable, which helps translate it into everyday use. My vocabulary to describe how I feel, the truth of what underlies that feeling, and my ability to consider how the other person feels, is greatly expanded. Kathy’s teaching style, with lots of examples and group interaction, is gentle and methodical, demonstrating exactly what she’s teaching. I recommend Kathy’s NVC workshop to anyone who wants clearer, more productive communication in their personal and professional relationships.

Marilyn Mullen, MA, NVC Trainer Certification Candidate
After a couple of years of searching high and low for practical support for sharing NVC, including the internet and inquiries at every training I attended, I found Kathy Ziola’s work. Her offerings are the single-most helpful resource I’ve found for leading classes and practice groups.
