Enjoy more enduring relationships and more personal fulfillment, and find ways to make the workplace more authentic, enjoyable, and productive for you and those around you. In this free webinar, David B. Alexander, LP (licensed psychotherapist) will present and discuss principles of Nonviolent Communication, and their fulfilling application in daily life.

Work / life balance is dependent on a positive mindset and positive experience in both the workplace and in personal life. That positive experience comes from true self-knowledge and authentic interactions with those around you.

After the presentation, there will be time for questions and answers. Discussion will also be invited as a way to engage those attending in a more direct way. See selected testimonials and terms of service below. This will be an enriching, safe opportunity for learning how to deepen relationships of all kinds through better communication, including through authenticity towards oneself, achieving more often the results we desire. In the workplace, go beyond praise of others to share genuine appreciation, while also giving a voice to your own vision, purpose, and goals.

As a psychotherapist, David has seen the value of the principles of Nonviolent Communication, and has guided numerous couples, individuals, and business leaders to improve the quality of their communication and their relationships.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Compassion vs. Labeling and Judgment

• Observation vs. Diagnosis and Evaluation

• Listening With Empathy

• Feelings, Needs, and Requests

• Liberation From Our Internal Programming

There will also be interactive exercises allowing participants to share connection with each other while becoming more aware of their own ability to communicate more fully.

The event is facilitated by David B. Alexander, licensed psychotherapist. In it, we will discuss principles of really good communication, and their use for this event's specific topic. We will also apply Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to issues or questions that the attendees bring in. The facilitator will guide the dialogue for shared understanding and connection among those attending. There will also be prepared scenarios to discuss as time allows.

What is "nonviolent communication", and what is violence in communication? Violent communications are interactions that tend to disrupt empathy and relationships, whether through distancing and irritation or through more intense conflict. On the other hand, nonviolent communication is a win / win, authentic and empathetic communication that brings people together.

Nonviolent Communication provides a clear description and understanding of what kinds of communication help bring more joy and vitality into life, and what kinds of communication prolong conflict or separation.

As a psychotherapist, David has seen the great value of these principles, and has guided numerous couples and individuals to improve the quality of their communication and their relationships.
