You are invited to find ways of becoming more effective, efficient and compassionate in your communication. Participants in the C.L.E.A.R. Communication experience will be given an opportunity to:
1. Find out what you want and how you can get what you want.
2. Learn to to communicate more successfully and create the right climate for success.
3. Increase your sensitivity to others and maintain closer relationships.
4. Open doors to hidden resources, improve your ability to concentrate, your ability to learn and pave the way for new possibilities.
5. Change your behavior positively so that you can handle negative experiences with a positive approach.
The C.L.E.A.R Communication experience is based on the work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, Founder of the Center For Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a process which can dramatically improve relationships by helping people focus their attention on empathetic understanding of others without compromising their own values. Even in situations of long-standing conflict or hostility, the NVC process can open new doors to compassionate connection and action.
"Through the practice of NVC, we can learn to clarify what we are observing, what emotions we are feeling, what values we want to live by, and what we want to ask of ourselves and others. We will no longer need to use the language of blame, judgment or domination. We can experience the deep pleasure of contributing to each others' well being."
Participants in the C.L.E.A.R. Communication learning experiences will also have continued support through bi-weekly practice groups.
