Nonviolent Communication Companion Workbook

Learning the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) process has often been equated with learning a whole new way of thinking and speaking. The NVCCompanion Workbook helps you easily put these powerful, effective skills into practice with chapter-by-chapter study of Rosenberg’s cornerstone text, NVC: A Language of life. Create a safe, supportive group learning or practice environment that nurtures the needs of each participant. Or, learn on your own as the workbook guides you through self-directed study. Find a wealth of activities, exercises, and facilitator suggestions to refine and practice this powerful way of communicating.
