NVC Training
Establishing a culture of empathy in your home, workplace and community, requires skills we are seldom taught: emotional literacy and empowerment through compassion. I offer NVC training and coaching for individuals, groups and organisations.
'Participants felt inspired with eye-opening and heart-opening moments that were perfect for a professional setting. Tracy cares about people and results!'
Marie Miyashiro, Author -The Empathy Factor business book
Empathy at home
A culture of empathy – always starts with ourselves – a place where you’re free to be your authentic best. It requires emotional intelligence, deep listening and an intentional way of being. This is what I have taught for the past three decades. I was trained by Dr Marshall Rosenberg the originator of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
“NVC is a learnable, practical way to bring empathy, honesty, strength and compassion into our personal and professional relationships. (NVC-UK”
It can help when you:
- feel frustrated because, others are not doing what you want them to do
- long for a different quality of connection in a relationship
- feel torn and don’t know which direction to take or choice to make
- want to to come to an agreement with someone
- have regrets, feel guilty or ashamed
- are stuck in judging others or criticising yourself!
You’ll learn to: hear what’s important for people with curiosity; view behaviour through the lens of human needs, with a systemic perspective. You will embrace difference; express yourself authentically; receive feedback without hearing criticism and blame; find solutions to problems together.

Empathy at work
NVC makes it easier to transform tense situations into shared collaboration for better outcomes.
According to current research, empathy is the most important leadership skill.
“One of Satya Nadella’s first acts after becoming CEO of Microsoft, was to ask the company’s top executives to read Marshall Rosenberg’s “Nonviolent Communication” a treatise on empathic collaboration. . . . he had his top lieutenants read, and the culture that took hold from there.” – Business Insider by Mark Abadi Oct 7, 2018

Many workplaces commission short Nonviolent Communication (NVC) training sessions for their teams. It’s important to note that just a few hours or even a full day of training serves only as an introduction to NVC.
For NVC to be truly impactful, the practices need to be embedded within everyday operations of the organisation, a sustained commitment to training and ongoing practice is essential. Aligning your leadership and management processes—such as feedback, decision-making, and conflict resolution—with NVC principles can foster psychological safety, enhance trust and collaboration among team members. This systemic approach can foster an empathic cultural transformation.
