Meeting Marshall B. Rosenberg in 1989 fundamentally changed how I thought and acted, and I’ve been passing on the principles of nonviolent communication (NVC) since 2000. I aim for the integration and application of this life-affirming approach in everything that I do. I’m delighted to see the impact that is possible when restricted thinking opens up and a seemingly impossible situation is transformed. When actions are clear, authentic and well-considered, great strength emerges and, with it, sustainable change.
