Special #2​​​​​​​
 

In over 40 years of mediating conflicts — between parents and children, husbands and wives, management and workers, police and communities, and warring groups around the world — Marshall Rosenberg has learned it is possible to resolve conflicts peacefully, and to everyone's satisfaction. It's not compromise — it's a caring and respectful quality of connection between the parties in conflict.

​​​​​​​

Why not get to the heart of the matter?

Most of us lack the vocabulary to express what we're feeling or needing, leading us to point fingers at someone as the 'cause' of our pain. When people sense that their feelings and needs are valued — and heard — it immediately helps reduce tension and hostility, opening the door for a peaceful resolution.
​​​​​​​
NVC inspires genuine cooperation by focusing on the unmet needs behind the conflict. Whether you're a professional mediator or wishing to resolve a conflict with your spouse, child or colleague, NVC offers practical, usable technique to get to the heart of the issue.

We Can Work It Out will help you:
  • Find mutually satisfying resolutions to conflict
  • See the "humanness" of those with whom you disagree
  • Let go of the enemy images and moralistic judgments that often lead to conflict
  • Foster respect and cooperation by focusing on the unmet needs behind the issue
  • Prevent future conflicts by making clear requests for future actions
  • Develop professional and personal relationships based on mutual respect, compassion, and cooperation

Special #4
You can feel it when it hits you. Your face flushes and your vision narrows. Your heartbeat increases as judgmental thoughts flood your mind. Your anger has been triggered, and you're about to say or do something that will likely make it worse.

You have an alternative. The Nonviolent Communication process (NVC) teaches that anger serves a specific, life-enriching purpose. It tells you that you're disconnected from what you value and that your needs are not being met. Rather than managing your anger by suppressing your feelings or blasting someone with your judgments, Marshall Rosenberg shows you how to use anger to discover what you need, and then how to meet your needs in constructive ways.


This booklet will help you become more conscious of four key truths:
  • People or events may spark your anger but your own judgments are its cause​​​​​​​
  • Judging others as "wrong" prevents you from connecting with your unmet needs
  • Getting clear about your needs helps you identify solutions satisfying to everyone
  • Creating strategies focused on meeting your needs transforms anger into positive actions
