How to Disagree with Dignity and Grace:
Using your Voice in Ways Other People Can Hear
4-week online course based on the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
In today's social and political climate, sharing what's important to you can be a harrowing experience. Whether you are speaking with family members, co-workers, or people in your community, it can be extremely stressful, especially if you are unprepared.
