NVC Level 2 Intermediate: Difficult Conversations around Power

This training is held ONLINE

Do you want ongoing opportunities to keep learning Nonviolent Communication in order to:

• better communicate your boundaries
• express your desires
• tackle difficult conversations,
• help you to understand what is motivating people
• find solutions that work better for everyone, without disconnecting from others
• collaborate effectively

The NVC London trainers have developed a flexible way of learning and this is one of my sessions

NVC has the potential to support challenging conversations around power differences and imbalances, but you need awareness of systems themselves and of the ways you can ineffectively utilise NVC strategies and this can actually get in the way.

Discover how to: 

• look after yourself and others in difficult conversations about power differences, 
• increase somatic self-empathy
• explore your own identity in relation to power 
• stay with difficult conversations
• become more resilient in situations where an aspect of power is playing out 

All this with a compassionate lens!

The session will involve reflection, discussion, practice and role play.

Here is a testimonial from a participant

I’ve done other workshops addressing equality, diversity, inclusion, racism and privilege, but what made this one stand out – and, I think, made it effective – was regularly returning to our somatic and emotional responses and seeing these as important sources of information. I have sometimes felt frozen and afraid of ‘getting it wrong’ when approaching privilege from a cerebral place and the focus on my body helped me to begin to understand a different way of doing this work.

Notes on affinity groups:

Racial identity is one of the identity experiences that we need to understand and have conversations about and it will come up on this course, if you are Black, Indigenous or a Person of Colour (BIPOC) or are from the Global Majority or are racially marginalised in any way AND you would prefer to work in a BIPOC working group in breakouts on racially sensitive questions, you can indicate this on the booking form. Similarly, if you are white and looking to examine your conditioning as a white person in a group with other white people, you can. Similarly, for women, men, nonbinary or trans people and other groups. You can then choose whether or not to actually do this on the day.

I (Ceri) am white identifying and am working to understand how my racialised identity plays out and how I can mitigate for this. I bring some of this learning as a white person, to this course.

Rationale about money:

I work with an appreciation of everyone (unfortunately) having different needs around money.

It’s important to me:

1) that this training is financially accessible for everyone and that your needs arounds sustainability are acknowledged
2) that my energy and work is valued, and my needs for sustainability are acknowledged.
3) that the energy and work of other NVC trainers offering similar trainings is valued and their needs for sustainability are acknowledged. (I don’t want you to choose my training only because this approach to money enables you to ‘pay less” than what other trainers are asking.)

I have worked in this way since 2015 and have found that participants enjoy the option to choose how much they want to pay, that it builds trust and connection. From my perspective, quite magically, I have always received an amount that makes it sustainable for me to put on these trainings.

If you regularly pay for personal development or travel regularly, please contribute something near to what you might pay for a similar course. Of course, sometimes you can’t or there are other needs you have which mean you don’t want to. In the case of uncertainty, please communicate with me. However, I’m not asking anyone to justify their choices to me.
