COMMUNICATION LEADERSHIP

FOR THE 21ST CENTURY 

“NVC ( Our note: A.K.A Needs-Based Communication; NBC) can change the world. More importantly, it can change your life. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”

—JACK CANFIELD, Chicken Soup for the Soul Series of books

“NVC is one of the most useful processes you will ever learn.”

—WILLIAM URY, Author, Getting to Yes

“In our present age of uncivil discourse and mean-spirited demagoguery, the principles and practices of NVC/NBC are as timely as they are necessary to the peaceful resolution of conflicts, personal or public, domestic or international.”

—MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, (USA) Taylor’s Shelf

About

WHAT FOR?

We will guide you through the implementation of needs-based communication (NBC). This type of communication is a tool to create deep connections between co-workers, encourage a culture of collaboration and inclusiveness, reduce misunderstanding and conflicts and by proxy increase creativity and efficiency.

Through the practice of four simple steps, NBC strengthens our level of authenticity, self-awareness and empathy for ourselves and others, which in turn has profound influences on the organizational culture. It is the difference between an organization people go to with joy and one where people go to with a sense of fear. Satya Nadella, the CEO at Microsoft since 2014, encourages his employees to relate to themselves and each other in this way: "To spread his ethos he's been pointing employees to Nonviolent Communication, a book that urges respectful listening instead of the classic Microsoft rejoinder: 'That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard!'
