Oahu Hawaii NVC

The Center for Nonviolent Communication offers a simple explanation of NVC:

"Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is sometimes referred to as compassionate communication. Its purpose is to:

create human connections that empower compassionate giving and receiving
create governmental and corporate structures that support compassionate giving and receiving.

NVC involves both communication skills that foster compassionate relating and consciousness of the interdependence of our well being and using power with others to work together to meet the needs of all concerned.

This approach to communication emphasizes compassion as the motivation for action rather than fear, guilt, shame, blame, coercion, threat or justification for punishment. In other words, it is about getting what you want for reasons you will not regret later. NVC is NOT about getting people to do what we want. It is about creating a quality of connection that gets everyone’s needs met through compassionate giving..."
