Be Effective, Kind & Clear - 7 Daily Mindful Communication Reminders

Leçon 1: The Art Of Presence: Empathic Listening

In this first session, I'll describe what Needs are in NVC (Nonviolent Communication). In NVC, or Mindful Communication, Needs are what relates us as humans. I'll also share a nuggetor 2 about how to practice listening from attuned presence.

Leçon 2: Empathy For Our Inner Critic

Do you have that critical voice in your head too, that judges you, gives analyses, and evaluations, and basically is your complaining inner companion? In this session, we start befriending this misunderstood voice by listening for the beautiful Needs it wants to point us to.

Leçon 3: Clarity Concerning Conflicts

Conflicts can be mere scheduling conflicts in our calendars, and they can be global catastrophes. But one thing they all have in common, and that is the way out of them, from the lens of Mindful Communication.

Leçon 4: Seeing Shame

Once you recognize shame, you see it everywhere. In this fully-packed session I share all I know about shame, its evolutionary roots, our common reactivity towards it, and the core needs that we find at its--in our--heart.

Leçon 5: Going Beyond Enemy Images

I believe that deep down, we all love each other. I do. So why do our minds then create enemy images? The answer to NVC: because our needs are not being met. In this session, I explain the workings of enemy images and the way out of them, which you may have guessed: through connecting with our needs.

Leçon 6: Giving Amazing Non-Compliments

When I give someone a compliment, notice what happens: I am actually positively judging this person. NVC asks the question: does this form of appreciation truly serve its supposed purpose? Marshall Rosenberg had a clear answer to this, and in this session, I'll explain why I agree with him 100%.

Leçon 7: The Magic Of Self-Connection

In this last session, I invite you to practice self-connection by sensing your needs. And also, to see the humanity in others--beyond their labels, beyond what we might think they (don't) deserve.

I hope you enjoyed these 7 days of NVC inspiration, and please ask me any questions, as I know I put a lot of information in the short sessions. I would really love to be complete and clear in what I shared.

Have a beautiful day!

Thank you so much for creating this course. I found the pacing of information allowed a state of flow with each session encouraging many aha moments and rich learnings.

Hans did a great job of clearly explaining some of the Non-Violent Communication (NVC) concepts. I found the simplicity and brevity of each session very helpful in better understanding the tenets of NVC.

Excellent!!! Simple & short - makes it easy to comprehend & apply to everyday life ❤️

Once again, I really appreciated listening to this short course. It has inspired me to actively try out some of the techniques in real life situations, to help me connect more deeply to my own needs as well as others in my life. It feels really useful and positive, and I know as a yoga/Meditation teacher my students will also appreciate a little of this wisdom of mindful communication too. Thank you Hans! 🙏🏼💜

Wonderful course. Got some really profound insights out of these short lessons. Will be looking into this subject deeper to learn more. Thanks for sharing 🙏

I enjoyed the practical applications presented in this course. Seeing others through their unmet needs changed my understanding of interacting with people. Thank you for this course.

It was valuable to have NVC concepts top of mind as I went about my daily life. Thank you for the NVC tune-up!
