Introduction training to Connecting Communication

 

What is the essence of Connecting Communication and how can it benefit you?

Connecting Communication focuses on the underlying motivations, or values, or needs. Feelings and judgements are signs of underlying needs. It's important to recognize this, not only those of your colleagues and friends, but your own to start with. This allows you to stand strong, or rather: take your position in equality despite differences in power. How do you influence the dynamics so that you achieve alignment based on human equality, despite power imbalances?

For instance: how do you stay connected to yourself during a challenging meeting? People who are dominant, or remain victimized, or simply cannot be persuaded to change: how do you handle that? How do you communicate about yourself?

 

Hester Macrander, certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication will give an interactive workshop on this topic. How do you communicate, and what can you still gain? Hester is also author of the books: ‘Connecting Communication, How?’ and: ‘A conflict. And then?’ (In Dutch only so far)

Learning objectives of this training:
• Understanding and applying the feelings and needs framework to yourself and others.

• Clearly expressing your motivations.

• Understanding what empathic listening is.

• Reflecting on your own personality: what can you improve in your communication?
