What is the impact of mediation and what is the role NVC plays?

Mediation, also known as conflict resolution, is the process of helping to resolve a conflict. Usually someone not involved in the conflict plays the role of mediator.

Conflicts can be scary, not only because of the threat of violence, but also due to other potential consequences such as emotional disconnection or missed opportunities.

Conflict can be especially unnerving when you don’t have the tools, skills, experience — and therefore the confidence — to de-escalate, reduce tensions, and bring the conflict to a resolution.

When conflicts are not handled well the results include emotional distancing and resentments, and in the worst of circumstances people die as a result.

There are many methods and modalities for resolving conflicts. For example, one common modality is known as interest-based mediation, in which there is a distinction made between “interests” and “positions.” A position is defined as a rigid strategy, an approach around which one of the parties has become inflexible. Interests focus on what is important, keeping in mind that there may be several ways to satisfy an interest...

I invited an old friend to a sit down. We hadn’t spoken a word to each other in years, after several rancorous arguments about politics. He agreed after I said: “I only want to connect with you. Being right or wrong isn’t as important as being able to see each other again as decent human beings.”

Like many of us, I had been sucked into the “us and them” dilemma of our age. I had retreated to the far corner of my chosen affinity group and had reduced the opportunities to talk about difficult subjects, except when I was teaching Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Then, like a soap box preacher, I would proselytize the value of NVC, but I didn’t venture out of my comfort zone to see how it works in the trenches.

Yep, relationships are MESSY! So if you want to be in one and thrive, you need to learn a few things. One of the most important things to learn in any relationship is how to navigate conflict. Conflict is part of being in relationship. Avoiding it is unhealthy. We need to develop the skills to effectively manage and resolve it..

Based on cover endorsements' from John Gray and Jack Canfield (Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and Chicken Soup for the Soul), Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Compassion sounds like another New Age, self-help book. Yet like Noam Chomsky -who deconstructed language and then moved on to media and politics - Rosenberg's work is intrinsically radical. Beginning by addressing language, it subverts our whole status-quo system of power: between children and adults, the sane and the psychotic, the criminal and the law...

I am excited to share a journey with you, a journey that invites us to focus our awareness on our communication. With more awareness comes more understanding, and with more understanding comes more relief, peace and harmony.

The process of Nonviolent Communication was created by Dr Marshal Rosenberg, an American psychologist and mediator who was a student of Carl Rogers. He was fascinated by what drives some people to love giving compassionately while others seem to delight in causing others pain. He found that connection between people is maintained and enhanced if we concentrate on two things – what is alive in each of us (our feelings and needs), and what can we do to make life more wonderful...

Practicing Nonviolent Communication guides us to reframe the way we listen to others and express ourselves by focusing our consciousness on four areas: what we are observing, feeling, needing and what we are requesting to enrich our lives. In this context the word need defines those basic human needs we all share...

This article aims to celebrate the life and the work of renowned peace activist Marshall B. Rosenberg who elucidated the principles and tools of his Non-Violent Communication (abbreviated as NVC) approach in his untimely book “Non-Violent Communication: A Language of Life.” Indeed, “Non-Violent Communication: A Language of Life" is the magnum opus of Rosenberg's lifetime work and it stands out as a foundational transformative educational toolbox in developing the cognitive and emotive skills for compassion and reconciliation at both personal and societal level...

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”

Oscar Wilde

Meeting Our Need for Respect
“You know I respect you. What’s your problem?” Do you ever find yourself in an argument over whether someone respects you? This argument can be frustrating if you focus on whether the other person respects you. The real question is whether your need for respect is being met. A friend of mine had a tendency to say “What a girl” to his male friends when they did things that he thought were beneath their ability, such as when they dropped the ball in a softball game. Every time I heard this, I felt annoyed because my need for respect wasn’t met...
