Compassionate Communication (aka Nonviolent Communication) answers the profound challenge of our uncertain times: “How can we be fully human together?”—with the children in our classroom, our children at home, our colleagues, friends and fellow citizens? How can we foster deep listening, respect, trust and authenticity with all? And how can we practice presence and compassion with ourselves first?
