"Nonviolent communication is the lost language of humankind, the
language of a people who care about one another and long to live in
harmony."
- Midwest Book Review, Taylor's Shelf |
In this training we demonstrate that language doesn't
always convey what we intend. In fact, it often has quite the reverse
effect. Sometimes to the point of creating ill-will or even hostile
reactions.
Speaking Peace comes from the presupposition that enriching life is
the most satisfying motivation for doing things, rather than being
motivated by fear, guilt, blame, or shame. Drawing on their linguistic
work with NLP, the work of Marshall Rosenberg Ph.D. (Non-Violent
Communicationsm), Dudley Lynch (Brain Technologies), David
Lazear (Multiple-Intelligences), Ram Dass (Mindfulness) and others,
Bob and Anne emphasize mindful use of language as the key to meeting
our needs as well as the needs of our friends, family, and associates.

"Dr.
Rosenberg has brought the simplicity of successful communication into
the foreground. No matter what issue you’re facing, his strategies for
communicating with others will set you up to win every time."
- Anthony Robbins, author, Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power

This program explores
some of the many ways that we can foster and experience more harmony and
well-being within ourselves and our business and personal relationships.
The focus is on shared values and needs and encourages the use of language
that increases good will and avoidance of language that contributes to
resentment, anger, guilt, and blame. The skills you'll learn will give you
new constructive choices in difficult situations and will enrich your
language skills in managing yourself and others.
Bob
