NVC Training
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.
'Participants felt inspired with eye-opening and heart-opening moments that were perfect for a professional setting. Tracy cares about people and results!'

Empathy at home
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)
“NVC is a learnable, practical way to bring empathy, honesty, strength, and compassion into our personal and professional relationships.” (NVC-UK)
NVC can support you when:
- You feel frustrated because others aren’t responding as you wish
- You’re longing for a deeper, more meaningful connection in your relationships
- You’re torn between choices and unsure which path to take
- You want to reach an agreement, but struggle to find common ground
- You’re carrying regret, guilt, or shame that weighs on you
- You’re caught in a cycle of judgment or self-criticism
Level 1
This 12-hour foundational training provides a solid grounding in the core principles and practical application of Nonviolent Communication, equipping you with essential tools to build more empathetic and effective connections.
Level 2
This intermediate training will deepen your understanding and practice of Nonviolent Communication, helping you integrate its principles more fully and gain greater fluency in using them in everyday life.
Level 3
Level 3 will help you cultivate an empathic leadership style, facilitate groups, and coach and train others in Nonviolent Communication (NVC). You’ll receive guidance to foster meaningful engagement with people
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) helps turn tense, situations into opportunities for shared collaboration, leading to better, more positive outcomes.you’ll learn to:
- Listen deeply with curiosity to understand what’s truly important to others
- See behaviour through the lens of human needs, bringing a fresh perspective
- Heal from past hurts and regrets
- Embrace differences with openness and compassion
- Express yourself authentically and confidently
- Receive feedback without feeling criticised or blamed
- Move through transitions
- Work together to find solutions and create harmony
Empathy at work
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.
If you’d like to explore how NVC training and coaching can support your team or organisation, I’d love to talk.
We can discuss NVC Foundation training tailored for the workplace, as well as field-tested methods such as 3 x 3 Empathy™ for Systemic Nonviolent Communication® as Cultural Transformation, developed by Marie R. Miyashiro, PhD, Marshall Rosenberg, and others.
'The training gave us tools to be able to have complex conversations in a team of ten multicultural and multilingual members working remotely.'
