Defuse Conflict With Nonviolent, Compassionate Communication
FREE Interactive Discussion with Lisa Jacobs
Sponsored by ACR Hawaii and HSBA ADR Section
Thursday, February 19, 2015
Presentation Objectives
In relationships of all kinds, we are faced with challenging situations and need tools in order to improve our communication with others and strive for mutually-satisfying outcomes. Nonviolent Communication, also referred to Compassionate Communication or Collaborative Communication, is a process where one learns how to:
- Break patterns of thinking that lead to arguments
- Transform conflict into solutions that both parties can live with
- Move beyond power struggles to cooperation and trust
Lisa Jacobs will describe the aspects of Nonviolent Communication and its core components and invite others to participate and practice using the tools that will be provided at this mini-workshop.
