We at NVC Academy created a path of three specially crafted courses for you this year, designed for beginners who want to learn NVC from scratch.

Today, I want to tell you about the second one coming up… It’s about empathy.

Let me give you a bit more context and describe why this course is so vital especially today… 

The way we’ve been socially conditioned to ‘listen’ is not really listening at all. 

We’re taught to correct and judge others or those they are speaking about. 

We’re taught to try to be right and to say the ‘right’ thing. 

And so often it involves saying something to avoid the other person’s pain. 

This does not help relationships thrive. 

Instead, it leads to frustration, misunderstandings, tension, and more judgments. 

But I’m here to let you know… 

There is a better way. 

And I’m going to teach it to you in my upcoming course…  

Listening with the Heart:
Using Empathy for Deeper Connection and Understanding 

With me, Mary Mackenzie
Starting June 6th 

This is a beginner’s course that coaches you to truly, deeply listen— to let go of right and wrong thinking and help you understand others and create heartfelt connections. 

I have been a Certified Trainer of NVC for 21 years, and I can’t count the number of times that I’ve seen empathy transform rage into openness, deep sadness into clarity (or relief), and hurt into connection … in a heartbeat. 

I’ve spent the last two decades learning effective ways to help people put aside their preferences and find ways to collaborate that are in alignment with their values.  

And you know what? 

It all comes back to listening for feelings and needs— it all comes back to empathy. 

Watch this short video to hear this incredible example of how I used empathy to help a couple in the heat of conflict. 

I have witnessed and experienced the magical healing effect of empathy countless times.  

This course is a beautiful opportunity to:

• Learn an effective empathy framework centered on nonviolence 
• Receive individual and group empathy coaching 
• Share in this unique learning experience with people from multiple cultures 
• Enhance your skills for empathic connection through practicing in a safe environment 

I believe empathy is an essential skill for navigating our human world. And that once learned, you can take its healing power anywhere.
