"The number one reason that we don't get our needs met, we don't express them. We express judgments. If we do express needs, the number two reason we don't get our needs met, we don't make clear requests." ~ Marshall B. Rosenberg
Requests are a powerful part of NVC - the parts where we can help create external change. If we want to support change in ourselves, our lives and in our world and systems, we need to get better at making and connecting around requests.
And yet so much seems to get in the way. Getting clear about how and what to ask for, fear around what will happen if I ask to get my needs met and what about if I actually get what I ask for?!
In these 3 sessions we will look at creating clear requests that support connection and make it simple for people to say yes or no. We will explore what gets in the way of us making requests, and we will practice, practice, practice!
Would you like to get more practiced at asking for what you really want to get your needs met?
