What is Violent Communication? If “violent” means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate—judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who’s “good/bad” or what’s “right/wrong” with people—could indeed be called “violent communication.”

What is Nonviolent Communication? Nonviolent Communication is the integration of 4 things:

Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of empathy, care, courage, and authenticity Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all Means of influence: sharing “power with others” rather than using “power over others”.

Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things:
1: Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection

2: Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships

3: Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit

“Nonviolent Communication shows us a way of being very honest, without any criticism, insults, or put-downs, and without any intellectual diagnosis implying wrongness.” — Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD

In Memory of Neill Gibson
1953 - September 30, 2016
Mourning. Celebration.

Neill dedicated his life to the dream of a world that works for everyone. And Neill went far beyond dreaming: Neill was a visionary, a strategic thinker, and a seemingly tireless do-er—a powerful combination.

Neill’s accomplishments were many; In addition to his work as Marshall’s publicist and with PuddleDancer Press, Neill co-authored books: What’s Making You Angry? And three books in The Marriage Guide Series. Neill co-created and co-facilitated with his wife, Beth Banning, personal development courses: The Art of Conscious Connection; Pathway to Personal Freedom; The Shocking Truth About Loving. And just this year, Neill and Beth started the Incite Coaching Academy and began certifying coaches—something, Beth says, Neill was incredibly excited about.

Neill was devoted to his family, which includes three grown children of his own, Denise, Micah, and Daniel and Beth’s son, Spenser, whom Neill helped raise.

In honor of Neill Gibson (my partner and best friend) who passed in September 2016 we would like to offer his ​​​​​​​What’s Making You Angry ebook for .25 cents (all orders must be charged something to be able to be processed).
Have you struggled to manage your anger in constructive ways? Have other anger management techniques left you suppressing these emotions, rather than discover what they’re really telling you?

What’s Making You Angry offers a different, and highly effective approach to conflict management. When we're angry, we tend to get caught up in moralistic judgments about the wrongness of the other person's behavior. As the tension builds, most anger management technique teach us to control our anger before it leads to behavior we'll regret.

In this concise booklet, you'll learn to view anger as a life-enriching emotion that can wake us up to what we need and value. Neill Gibson and Shari Klein offer a powerful, step-by-step approach to transform anger and find healthy, mutually satisfying outcomes.

Discover 3 things that are really happening when you’re angry:
  • You're upset because you're not getting your needs met
  • You're blaming someone or something else for not getting what you want
  • You're about to speak or act in a way that guarantees you will not get what you want

Learn 10 Steps to Transforming Anger So Everyone Wins, and finally deal with your anger constructively. If you're an anger management counselor or teach anger management classes, this booklet will give you a fresh and life-changing approach to enhance your techniques.

Neill Gibson, co-author of What's Making You Angry?, has partnered with Beth Banning to create the personal growth and self-help websites: FocusedAttention.com. They offer experiential seminars, eCourses, and consulting services that support developing the underlying consciousness of the NVC process, but complemented with a unique blend of additional insights, principles and practices.
