[ READ IN TRAINER'S PRIMARY LANGUAGE ](#in-primary-language) I am a certified Nonviolent Communication (NVC) trainer, supporting individuals and groups in developing more conscious, authentic, and connected ways of communicating. I first encountered NVC in 2013 while looking for a way to facilitate parties during a commercial mediation in a space free from judgment. I came across a video by Marshall B. Rosenberg: everything shared resonated deeply with what I felt in my heart, even though until then I had not found the understanding and words to express it. Since 2020, I have been practicing NVC consistently, and in 2022, I began the Certification Process. I could never have imagined how much NVC would transform my life and relationships, especially in my role as a parent, first to a young child and now to an adolescent. Through NVC, I discovered a parenting paradigm based on shared power with children. I consider the family space a fundamental place to learn how to be in relationships naturally and authentically. I am passionate about parenting and, at the same time, attentive to those who care for family members with Alzheimer’s, a disease my father experienced. NVC helped me cultivate connection and closeness in that context. I work with NVC in a variety of settings because what guides me is not the topic but the quality of the relationship and the ways people can stay connected during significant moments in life. As a trainer, my intention is to support relationships in which needs can be recognized and expressed with clarity. In my workshops, I offer learning spaces in which the NVC process is integrated as a practice of awareness, listening, and choice, combining NVC with experiential practices, such as role plays, to make the sessions engaging and accessible. I see communication as an ongoing practice that fosters connection and well-being in relationships, and I am committed to making NVC accessible and applicable in everyday life. In my work, I bring presence, respect for individual rhythms, and attention to learning processes. I trust in each person’s inner resources and see relational challenges as opportunities for learning and connection. # Trainer's primary language Sono formatrice certificata in Comunicazione Nonviolenta (CNV) e accompagno persone e gruppi nello sviluppo di una comunicazione più consapevole, autentica e connessa. Ho incontrato la CNV nel 2013 mentre cercavo un modo di condurre le parti durante una mediazione commerciale, in uno spazio libero da pregiudizi. Trovai un video di Marshall B. Rosenberg: ciò che veniva condiviso risuonava profondamente con ciò che avevo nel cuore, anche se fino ad allora non avevo trovato la comprensione e le parole per esprimerlo. Dal 2020 ho iniziato a praticare la CNV in modo continuativo, fino a intraprendere il percorso di certificazione nel 2022. Non avrei immaginato quanti cambiamenti la CNV avrebbe portato nella mia vita e nelle mie relazioni, in particolare nel mio essere genitore prima di una bambina oggi di un’adolescente. Attraverso la CNV ho incontrato un paradigma di genitorialità basato sul potere condiviso con i figli. Considero lo spazio familiare un luogo fondamentale per apprendere come stare nelle relazioni in modo naturale e autentico. Ho a cuore il tema della genitorialità e, allo stesso tempo, rivolgo attenzione a chi accompagna familiari affetti da Alzheimer, una malattia vissuta da mio padre, con il quale la CNV mi ha aiutata a coltivare connessione e vicinanza. Lavoro con la Comunicazione Nonviolenta in diversi contesti, perché ciò che mi guida non è il tema, ma la qualità della relazione e il modo in cui le persone possono stare in connessione nei momenti importanti della vita. La mia intenzione come trainer è sostenere relazioni in cui i bisogni possano essere riconosciuti ed espressi con chiarezza. Nei miei percorsi formativi offro spazi di apprendimento in cui integrare il processo della Comunicazione Nonviolenta come pratica di consapevolezza, ascolto e scelta, integrando la CNV con pratiche esperienziali, come giochi di ruolo, per rendere le sessioni più vive e accessibili. Considero la comunicazione una pratica continua che sostiene la connessione e il benessere nelle relazioni e mi impegno a rendere la CNV accessibile e applicabile nella vita quotidiana. Nel mio lavoro porto presenza, rispetto per i ritmi individuali e attenzione ai processi di apprendimento. Confido nelle risorse interiori di ciascuno e vedo le difficoltà relazionali come opportunità di apprendimento e connessione. > “My mission is to support parents, educators, and those caring for family members with illness in developing authentic and compassionate communication, through courses, workshops, and experiential spaces in which to practice NVC. I create opportunities to cultivate listening, empathy, and connection in daily, family, and professional relationships, in safe spaces that honor everyone’s needs.” Share this page: - [](mailto:?body=Hi%20check%20out%20this%20trainer%21&subject=Check%20out%20this%20Certified%20Trainer%20with%20the%20Center%20for%20Nonviolent%20Communication%21) - [](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fmaria-paola-sabatino "Share on Facebook") - [](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fmaria-paola-sabatino "Share on Whatsapp") - [](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fmaria-paola-sabatino&text= "Share on Twitter") - [](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fmaria-paola-sabatino "Share on Linkedin") - [](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fmaria-paola-sabatino "share on Pinterest") ### TRAINING FOCUS: - Business - Children - Conflict Resolution - Education - Facilitation - General - Health & Healing - Parenting & Family “Se davvero volete sognare, svegliatevi.” Cit.
