My Approach to the Learning

Content and structure of my workshops and courses are tailored to suit the needs of the specific group, both prior to the course and during the group sessions.

There are four cornerstones to my approach to facilitating groups:

• Experiential Learning~ learning through exploring personal experience in relationship to the material being shared and using various activities to address different learning styles: demonstrations, role plays, visual aids, exercises involving movement, games and the "NVC Dancefloors"*;
• Group Relationship ~ interactive partner and group exercises, learning through being in relationship with others, working with the present group dynamic as an opportunity for learning;
• Co-Creation~ ongoing input and feedback is requested from the group to ensure the learning is relevant and fluidly meeting the needs of those present;
• Real-Life Material~ I share from my own life challenges, growth and insights through role-plays, answering questions candidly, and sharing stories relevant to the topic.

The NVC Dancefloors: The Dancefloors are interactive maps that use movement and visuals to support a fuller integration of the Compassionate Communication process. They were developed by Certified NVC Trainers Bridget Belgrave and Gina Lawrie~ www.GnB.org.uk
