There is inevitably conflict in leadership. But more often than not conflict is simply a lack of effective strategies for meeting the needs of the other. Non-Violent Communication theory supposes that all human behavior stems from attempts to meet universal human needs, and that these needs are never in conflict; rather, conflict arises when strategies for meeting these needs clash.

In this session, participants will learn the OFNR model for communication. Observations, feelings, needs, requests. They will practice using this skill to express what’s alive in then and identify what is alive in their partner. They will then learn how to teach these skill to their direct reports to create a team or community of people that are able to feel connected through effective communication.
