We all find ourselves in situations similar to these, and too often resort to the same old patterns of behavior—defending our need to be right, refusing to really listen, speaking cruelly out of anger and frustration, or worse.

But there is another way—thanks to the pioneering efforts of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, whose remarkable process of Nonviolent Communication has gained worldwide recognition as a tool for turning even the most volatile situations into a natural interchange of compassion, generosity, and mutual enrichment.

This was such a great opportunity to receive the training from Marshall Rosenberg himself. The live sessions were incredibly helpful, even though I did not personally call in a question. It should be equally valuable for those who download it now.

This is hard work. Marshall Rosenberg has taught many more stubborn than I. I keep listening to his gentle, slow instruction and hope for a miracle. This is a course that I am taking after the fact. It is laid out in manageable bits, allows for note taking, has active and passive interludes. But don't let me fool myself, the real work is mine. He is offering guidance, so much gentle guidance.
