Would you like to breathe new life into your emotional landscape?

Do you enjoy flexibility and personal service?

Would you like to learn the 7 steps for transforming communication while exploring and resolving your own concerns?

 

Then coaching is for you.

 

You will develop skills to use in your daily life. You can practice difficult conversations that may be coming up in your life to develop the skills and language to bring about the change you want to see. Or you can explore existing patterns in your life that seem to bring discomfort and pain. You can learn to transform pain, difficulty and discomfort into clarity, compassion, consciousness and life serving actions.

 

 

Are you stuck in a conflict with someone which seems impossible to resolve

or is just painfully persistent?

Have you been involved in mediation but the solution just does not feel satisfying or fair

and despite the resolution you are still feeling in conflicted?

 

Are you wanting to reconnect with someone with whom you have been in conflict in the past but you just do not know how?

 

Then mediation is for you.

 

NVC based mediation focuses on connection before outcome, and then outcomes emerging from that connection.

This process allows each party to trust they have been heard and understood to their satisfaction by the other party - heard not only as to their "story", but heard as to the underlying human needs that have not been met in the conflict. With this connection present, the process moves to collaborative problem solving.

 

Benefits to you can begin with the initial contact with us. We reflect back to you what we hear you say and help you clarify how to proceed in alignment with your values. We help you make a plan that may include either our mediation or communication coaching services, or a combination of both.

The plan may include having one of our mediators contacting the other person(s) in the dispute to invite them to a joint mediation session with you and a mediator. Or, the plan might entail you extending this invitation personally.

In addition, it may include coaching/training on how to communicate in ways that increase the likelihood that you will get your needs met in relationship to the other person.

 

Communicating to Connect mediation works with what is alive in the parties right now:

their feelings, their needs, and what would make life even better in this moment.

Once connection has been achieved and needs and values heard,

solutions tend to emerge easily and spontaneously.

As Marshall Rosenberg puts it,

It takes twenty minutes to come to a solution once each party has had its main need heard.

Communicating to Connect Coaching & Mediation

If I were to summarize in one sentence the single most important principle I have learned in the field of interpersonal relations, it would be this:

 

Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

 

This principle is the key to effective interpersonal communication.
