COACH – NVC Model 
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) model of Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D., is also called Compassionate or Collaborative Communication or The Language of Life. 


NVC Description:
The NVC model is a learnable process designed to reliably increase well-being. It involves a quality of connection with self and others that leads to everyone’s needs being respected. An intention to seek mutually satisfying outcomes for all fosters Respect and Safety in relationships…thereby leading to High Motivation, Creativity, and Effectiveness in this Needs-Based Model.

  • “Everything that we do is in the service of a need.”         
  • “ Violence is a tragic expression of unmet needs.”
  • “How can I accentuate the “life” within myself…
    and help make your life more wonderful?”

quotes from Marshall Rosenberg, PhD

How?

  

Communication

 People learn a Needs Based Management language that fosters communication that identifies core needs, with Safety and Respect. When individuals express themselves without judgment and listen to others with respect, they feel safe to continue to communicate. A connection is made.

Connection

 Those who exhibit a Communication Flow… a quality of understanding with oneself that leads to personal discovery …or between two or more persons that exhibits Respect and Mutual Consideration. Those involved feel free to express themselves openly and are open to different points of view. This quality of connection leads to collaboration.

Collaboration

 When individuals or relationship groups experience the Safety and Respect in Connection, they naturally want to enhance the connection through Collaboration. In relationships, each person seeks mutually satisfying outcomes with everyone’s needs respected, thereby enhancing the relationship.
