I work with individuals and organizations to bridge that gap. To communicate with clarity and courage. To navigate difficult conversations with empathy. To build the kind of psychological safety where trust becomes the foundation, not an afterthought. Through coaching, workshops, and facilitation, I help people move from surface conversations to what truly matters. Because when unmet needs are finally named and unspoken truths are finally heard, it is not just results that change. It is the entire culture of how people show up with each other, relate, lead and belong." There is a question that guides Nancy Katyal’s work: What becomes possible when people feel truly heard? For over two decades, she has been exploring this question in boardrooms and classrooms, with leadership teams navigating tension and individuals discovering their voice. Her work begins in the space between people, where words can build connection or create distance. And often, it leads to something unexpected: a shift that feels less like learning and more like coming home to oneself. Nancy is a Certified coach, coaching supervisor, international keynote speaker, leadership consultant, and author of "Commit to Yourself." With over 7,600 coaching hours across 17 countries, her work brings together neuroscience, NLP, TA, Leadership development, and NVC into a deeply human approach to change. She facilitates sessions at leading institutions, including IIM, serves as President of the Conscious Communication Council at WICCI Maharashtra, and mentors emerging leaders at Masters Union and beVisioneers, the Mercedes-Benz Fellowship. Nancy creates spaces where people can slow down enough to speak honestly and listen differently. Spaces where conversations people have been avoiding can finally unfold. Her sessions are not about delivering content, but about enabling shifts that stay. With organizations, she supports teams in navigating conflict, building trust, and creating cultures where people feel safe expressing what truly matters. At the heart of her work is a simple understanding: every action, however difficult it may appear, is an attempt to meet a need. When this becomes visible, something softens. Conversations change. Relationships begin to move. Nancy’s work is about helping them reconnect with what is already within them- the capacity for clarity, compassion, and genuine connection. Conversations and journeys she facilitates include: - Difficult Conversations with Care - Conflict To Connection - Coming Home to Ourselves: Radical Self-Empathy through NVC lens - Parenting with NVC - D.I.A.L.O.G.U.E at the Workplace - VOICE: From Unheard to Understood - Needs-Based Coaching - Mentoring Groups through NVC Consciousness \#cnvc #nvc #nvctrainings #nvccoach --- **Testimonials :** **Chirumerla Sri Lahari** I had the privilege of attending Nancy’s communication and leadership development sessions multiple times at our office, and each experience was transformative.

To teams caught in conflict, to leaders navigating complexity, and to people who simply want their relationships to feel more honest, more safe and more authentic. I offer NVC-based coaching, workshops and facilitation to those who want to navigate conflict with empathy, have the conversations that truly matter, and build cultures where people feel safe to speak honestly and genuinely heard when they do. In one-on-one sessions I work with people through the specific situations causing friction, distance or pain. Helping them find greater clarity within themselves and more authentic connection with others. Because when people are skilled enough and safe enough to say what truly needs to be said, with honesty, with empathy and with care for everyone in the room, everything changes.” ### Related - [ **Compassionate Grounding Checklist PDF** (Store Item) ](https://www.cnvc.org/store/compassionate-grounding-checklist-pdf) - [ **Come Home to Yourself: The Unspoken Conversation** (Trainer Event 10-16-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/come-home-to-yourself-2026-10-16-18-30-00) 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%2Fnancy-katyal "Share on Facebook") - [](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fnancy-katyal "Share on Whatsapp") - [](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fnancy-katyal&text= "Share on Twitter") - [](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fnancy-katyal "Share on Linkedin") - [](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fnancy-katyal "share on Pinterest") ### TRAINING FOCUS: - Business - Conflict Resolution - Counseling & Coaching - Education - Facilitation - Parenting & Family [ Trainer's Website ](https://nancykatyal.com) One of the most transformative shifts in any relationship is moving away from asking who is right or wrong, and becoming curious about what each person is needing and longing for.
