Mastering Communication

You’ll learn how NVC can be applied in the workplace through an example. 

In this final lesson, Newt is joined by collaborator Ali Miller, to enact a difficult conversation between two coworkers: Jolie and Kent. Kent is Jolie’s manager, and why he knows NVC, Jolie is not a practitioner. This is an uninterrupted conversation, but you will be able to identify the progress on each side. 

Here are the topics covered in this lesson: 
  • The conversation: Jolie gives Kent some feedback. 
  • Development of the first issue: acknowledging ideas. 
  • Development of the second issue: worrying about the team. 
  • Closing. 
  • Assignment: An invitation to revisit and practice these skills.
