Do you struggle with giving tough feedback or having difficult conversations at work and in life? You’re not alone! Many people avoid these moments out of fear of damaging relationships or being misunderstood. But what if you could approach these conversations in a way that fosters understanding, trust, and connection?
In this class, leadership expert Michael Leckie introduces you to Nonviolent Communication (NVC)—a powerful framework developed by Marshall Rosenberg to help you navigate difficult conversations with empathy and clarity. Originally designed for conflict resolution in high-stakes situations, NVC has been adapted for the workplace to help leaders and individuals communicate effectively and with kindness.
You’ll learn:
Why traditional feedback methods (like the "feedback sandwich") often fail
How to separate facts (data) from judgments and emotions
How to express your needs clearly and constructively
How to give feedback in a way that reduces defensiveness and increases collaboration
How to handle feedback you receive with openness and growth
Through real-life examples, exercises, and a downloadable Nonviolent Communication Worksheet, you’ll develop the skills to communicate with confidence and compassion—whether you're a leader, a team member, or simply navigating everyday relationships.
Who This Class Is For:
Professionals looking to improve workplace communication
Leaders who want to foster a feedback-friendly culture
Anyone who struggles with giving or receiving tough feedback
Individuals interested in conflict resolution and personal growth
