Have you not known whether to speak up when hearing someone make a harmful comment?
Wondered how to center the impacted person without causing further harm?
Or what to say when you do speak up?
If so, I hope you’ll tune in to the latest episode of Conflict Decoded—How to Address Harmful Impact with Nonviolent Communication—with clinical psychologist and Nonviolent Communication trainer @RoxanneManning.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been one of my closest allies in learning to speak up as a bystander to harm. This episode offers a basic primer on NVC and a practical exploration of how to use NVC to speak up about harmful impact.
Whether you’re brand-new to NVC or a long-time practitioner, if you’re committed to communicating skillfully—especially as a bystander to harm—I think you’ll get a lot out of this actionable, rich conversation.
