"Nonviolent Communication is a very powerful addition to my approach, which emphasizes self-awareness, choice, relational skills, and ways to build cooperation."

Henry Wai has 28 years of experience leading trainings and delivering programs in Canada, England, and the United States. He offers coaching and training for corporate, government, healthcare, and community organization employees as well as public trainings. Henry was introduced to Nonviolent Communication in 2000 and completed several trainings with the founder, [Marshall Rosenberg](https://www.cnvc.org/about/marshall). Henry’s early mentors were Gina Lawrie and Bridget Belgrave, who developed the [NVC Dance Floors](http://www.nvcdancefloors.com/index.html). Henry particularly delights in sharing NVC fundamentals with beginners.

Prior to NVC certification, Henry worked as a trainer and service provider in various sectors — housing, food co-ops, volunteer management, adult education, social enterprise and youth employment. Henry’s capacity for presence has been supported through a variety of experiences:

- Zen Hospice Project volunteer
- insight meditation practitioner
- studying Psychology in university
- growing up as a person of color in Canada
- contact improvisation dance.

Nonviolent Communication is a very powerful addition to Henry's approach which emphasizes self-awareness, choice, relational skills, and ways to build co-operation.
