About Haskvitz’ presentation
Would you like ideas of how to communicate effectively when communication matters?
So often, a person focuses on strategies to meet their needs and gets into power struggles with people at work and at home. Increase your skills in a process of communication based on connection, where each person’s needs are valued and heard. Deepen your conscience in nonviolent communication, where speaking and listening come from the heart and giving comes from a place of joy. Learn how to get all needs met in a win-win approach and in cooperation with others rather than at their or your expense.
Here are some things you can learn at this event
- How to enhance already rich relationships
- How to speak from your heart without blame, shame or criticism
- How to hear others’ messages with compassion and acceptance
- How to heal painful issues
- How to speak and listen in ways that make people feel more joy in responding to you
You can find out more about Haskvitz at the Nonviolent Communication Web site.
This event is sponsored by the Justice and Peace Studies Program.
