What a Harvard Youth Violence Prevention Center Researcher says: "I took his introductory workshop last fall, and was really impressed with his skill at engaging his audience with this important topic that is not only critical to our work in youth violence prevention but in our everyday interactions as human beings. However skilled a listener you may be, these workshops will make you think differently about your interactions with others, and give you new strategies for de-escalating conflict and improving communication with folks who may *not* be such great listeners." 

  

Upcoming Workshops

Bay NVC 2011 Leadership Program - Guest Trainer

"I am so excited about the new face of the program that I would almost want to participate! We have asked Kit Miller, Arnina Kashtan, and Jorge Rubio, longstanding members of the global NVC training community, to join Roxy Manning and Francois Beausoleil for one each of the three retreats. I can't wait to see what new insights, experiences, and learning they will bring to the rich tradition we have created over the many years the program has been offered. If you have done the program already, I invite you to consider coming back. You will get the same comprehensive coverage of materials with entirely new angles given the different styles, experiences, and gifts that each of the guest trainers brings with them."
- Miki Kashtan, BayNVC, Leadership Program founder
