Course Description: 

Over the years we've had a lot of people in our trainings express
interest & excitement about bringing NVC into businesses &
organizations, and now we have developed a training to support those
who are venturing into this territory.

With his background in owning & managing small businesses, Gregg has focused
the last seven years on facilitating NVC consciousness in
organizations—first in his own 19-year-old business, and then as a
consultant to a variety of businesses & nonprofits including a
3-1/2 year engagement at a company that does pharmaceutical studies.
Susan brings her 15+ years of experience of NVC, along with specific
engagements of bringing NVC into the British Columbia provincial
government and General Motors.

The intention within our work is to foster the fullness of NVC consciousness—the living energy
of needs—such that we not only impact the human relationships within
the organization but we systemically transform the organizational
processes, strategies and structures to be in harmony with this
consciousness.

Our intention within this workshop is to:

  • Share our experience of NVC as a process for organizational development
  • Develop
    NVC skills & consciousness, beyond the intrapersonal &
    interpersonal, to encompass groups of people with a common mission
    & aim
  • Learn to introduce NVC to people within businesses & organizations through inspiring rather than selling
  • Expand the mission of any organization so that it becomes a "living organization"
  • Introduce Dynamic Self-Governance (Sociocracy) as a framework to hold NVC consciousness
  • Experience
    circles as the core organizational unit and explore the dynamics within
    those circles that fulfill the needs of the participants and the needs
    of the whole
  • Invite hands-on practice of essential
    NVC organizational skills in facilitation of meetings, expressing &
    hearing disagreement without blame, mediation and coaching
  • Explore
    how common processes—e.g. meetings, employee reviews, hiring,
    terminations of employment, email communications—are transformed to
    create an environment of authenticity, connection & mutual
    interdependence within the organization
  • Witness—and learn the skills of—a new leadership that emerges in living organizations
  • Learn the crucial role of systemic feedback for a living organization to thrive

Intended Participants

  • People who want to integrate NVC into their organizations (businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, community groups, etc.)
  • Consultants who want to facilitate the integration of NVC into client organizations
  • Certified & non-certified NVC trainers who want to facilitate the integration of NVC into client organizations
