The Art of Making Requests
Do you long to live a life aligned with your passions and values?
To deepen your relationships and pursue your dreams?
Life is too short not to go for what you truly want.
Making requests is an art of living—it is the power that makes things happen and brings your dreams into reality.
A workshop dedicated to the Art of Making Requests and the challenging communication dynamics around them.
We will explore
❀ How to stand firmly for your needs and assertively ask for what you really want
❀ How to connect with what is almost hidden deep inside you
❀ How to express a “no” (and stay in connection)
❀ How to hear a “no” (and stay alive…)
❀ The risks and costs of saying a “half yes”
❀ How to initiate and navigate challenging dialogues
❀ How to stand for your need to matter
❀ How to hear the (unspoken) requests of the people we care about
We will be practicing such skills as
❀ The difference between a request and a demand
❀ Principles for making powerful requests that move things forward
❀ The two types of requests: dialogue requests and action requests
❀ Requests from whom? (myself, the other person, others)
❀ Radical honesty, radical empathy.
About NVC
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is widely used all around the globe as a tool for communication, conflict resolution, mediation, coaching and self-development.
NVC takes you from your meditation cushion into real life—it helps you live your deepest values in relationships and in countless day-to-day situations.
It deeply transforms your communication with yourself and others, moving it toward a quality of profound compassion.
NVC is successfully used in organizations, teams, businesses, politics, prisons, schools, families and relationships in millions of everyday life situations.
Learning style
You will be invited to work on examples from your own life in an interactive and safe learning environment. We will practice Nonviolent Communication through demonstrations, role-play and exercises in order to integrate NVC values and language more into our daily lives.
The way we teach is: 30% Theory and 70% of Practice/Demonstration/Learning from LIVE situations that are happening in the here and now. Our focus is very much on the Embodied aspect of ‘Nonviolent Communication’, so be ready to dive.
Extra support
Assistants: We will have assistants accompanying us during this course. They’ve already completed the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Year Courses with us and some are engaged in their steps toward teaching/sharing NVC.
