When we know that workplace conflict costs Canadian businesses over two billion dollars a year, it is logical and smart to choose to put energy, time and money in learning good communication skills at work.

Reconnect can help you and your organization achieve its goals by improving communication, relationships intelligence and conflict resolution.

This workshop series is designed to:

• help team members to be more clear and efficient in their communications and establish trust

• learn to address successfully challenging conversations and situations.

• learn skills to engage in conflicts rather than avoiding them

• improve meetings by transforming never ending conversation in meaningful interactions.

Integrating NVC into your life is a journey. It has many twists and turns and most definitely pitfalls along the way. The level of results you’re getting is in direct proportion to how much time and energy you invest. Empathy buddies, practice groups and continued training are some of the most efficient ways to further your path of integration and more importantly improve the relationship(s) with yourself and those you care about. In our experience consistently showing up to NVC communities particularly in the foundation building phase of learning NVC is very helpful in maintaining momentum and being able to really use it in your life as a daily habit.

In this training we are getting into it! Reinforcing the foundations of empathy skills and NVC consciousness but also exploring how to navigate the more nuanced and complex dynamics that can arise in work/home/romantic/friendship relationships.

Take a moment to imagine yourself fully embodying the essence of empathy. Staying heart centered and curious with the people you love the most and also those who get under your skin (often the same people!). Imagine how much your relationships would improve because you know how to resource yourself and fill your cup of love. This workshop is all about learning not just the intellectual aspects of Nonviolent Communication but also the path to fully embodying the consciousness.

It will help you to

** be able to deal with conflict and difficult relationship with more fluidity, confidence and trust

** develop a better relation to yourself that helps you in moments of intense emotions

** increase your capacity to listen to people that are dear to you and improve the quality of your relationships

** develop the capacity to talk to people you find hard to talk to

** go faster to a win-win solution that works for everyone!

“I really appreciated Myriam's warmth and wide variety of teaching styles so that the workshop was experiential, as well as written, auditory, creative, and fun! I liked how Myriam gave real-life examples that illustrated the skills we were learning. Rather than my usual habit of withdrawing, I now feel prepared to face a conflict, stay engaged, and be more effective in my communication.”
