Create a Culture of Empathy in Your Home, Workplace, and Community
Building a culture of empathy requires skills that are often overlooked: emotional literacy and empowerment through compassion. These tools are essential for fostering deeper connections and understanding. I offer NVC training and coaching tailored for individuals, groups, and organisations, helping you cultivate these vital skills.
Empower Your Relationships with Compassion, Connection, and Clarity through NVC
Creating a culture of empathy starts with us—a space where we can show up as our true, authentic selves. It requires emotional intelligence, deep listening, and an intentional, mindful way of being. These are the principles I’ve been guiding people in for over three decades. I was trained by Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, the creator of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

Research shows that empathy is one of the most important leadership skills. As Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, demonstrated, leading with empathy can transform company culture. He asked his top executives to read Marshall Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication, a foundational guide to empathic collaboration, which played a pivotal role in shifting Microsoft’s culture from cutthroat to creative.

Many workplaces offer brief NVC training sessions for their teams – it’s important to understand that a few hours—or even a full day—only scratches the surface. To truly experience the impact of NVC, it needs to be integrated into the day-to-day operations of the organisation. A sustained commitment to training, combined with ongoing practice, is key.
By aligning leadership and management processes such as feedback, decision-making, and conflict resolution with NVC principles, you can cultivate psychological safety, build trust, and foster collaboration. This systemic approach can drive a cultural shift toward empathy, creating a more inclusive and productive workplace.
