Sharing NVC in organisations is a very specific challenge for a trainer. While on open workshops you will have participants that really want to learn NVC and are even happy to pay for this, in organisations you regularly have participants that actually don’t want to attend this workshop. Or they believe they know it all anyway. And so they want to be elsewhere.

Besides this, there are very often already so many deep conflicts in the team/organisation, that it makes no sense to share NVC in these settings, as first the pain or distress needs to be surfaced, addressed and dealt with, before the space opens up for learning. Can you help them with that?

And as if the above was not enough – very often, while working with the organisation, many systemic issues open up and it quickly becomes clear they need to be addressed and transformed. The team/organisation has already tried all they could, yet things did not improve. Can you help them?

In this practical course we will be exploring together many specific skills, theory and processes that can help you when intending to bring NVC consciousness into an organisation, and perhaps even transform it.

We will be, in practical terms, covering the following key topics:

1. Entering an organisation

a) Challenges of meeting with decision makers and gatekeepers

b) Introducing NVC to a sceptical group

2. Language, design and demonstrations

a) Focus on needs with the language that meets

b) Demonstrations as a powerful tool to get the idea across

3. Handling conflicts in groups

a) Formal mediation in groups and between groups

b) Informal interventions when triggering happens in a workshop

4. Facilitating systemic changes I

a) Evaluating the past and learning from it (FFFF)

b) Mapping the wider context

c) From abstract ideas to specific team projects

5. Facilitating systemic changes II

a) From mechanical to appreciative approach of evaluation

b) Implementing the power of dreaming
