    Non Violent Communication, Day 17

    In today's look at non violent communication, we've made it to Chapter 6 in the Rosenberg book. You'll hear me discussing how I'm playing with making requests in clear, concrete action-oriented language... and, of course, how this relates to my living room. :-) To share comments, questions, or your own experiences, please visit my blog: Non Violent Communication podcast day 17 If you liked this, chances are good that you know someone else who might enjoy it. I hope you'll share the link via email, twitter, facebook, or your method of choice. It might mean a lot to that person, and it just takes a moment.

    Non Violent Communication, Day 15

    In today's look at non violent communication, I'm reporting on how things are going with using the phrase "I feel [insert feeling], because I [insert need]." Magical. Really, I'm finding this hugely helpful. There is also a little discussion about the fact that many of us lose sight of the fact that we have needs in the first place -- or at least I sometimes work with people who feel that way and feel that way myself at times. To leave comments or questions (hint: I'd love to learn your own experience with this phrase!), visit the blog at: Non Violent Communication Podcast Day 15 To subscribe via iTunes or for a complete list of episodes, visit my page on non violent communication.

    Non Violent Communication, Day 14

    Today's episode launches us into Chapter 5 of Rosenberg's book, and we're talking about taking responsibility for our feelings. Initially, I'm playing around with a specific phrase and noticing my first reaction (discomfort) and what happens later. If you like this, chances are good you know someone else who might like it, too. Be sure to use email, twitter, facebook, or another method to share this with them. It may be exactly the magic fairy dust they need to brighten their day, and it only takes a minute.

    Non Violent Communication, Day 13

    Today, in Day 13, we're wrapping up the discussion of "identifying and expressing feelings" from Chapter 4 of Rosenberg's book. Learn about my own challenges with using the phrase "I feel", when I'm doing a self-check, and why my emotional vocabulary appears to be stuck at first grade level. Hope you'll join me, and let me know your thoughts at my blog. http://www.lizmcgowen.com/non-violent-communication-podcast/NVC-Podcast-Day-13-Yes-my-emotional-vocabulary-is-at-first-grade-level

    Non Violent Communication, Day 12

    Today is an extension of Day 11, because I didn't want to leave listeners hanging. I go into connecting with people at a deeper level, bringing us around to the importance of identifying and observing rather than labeling someone with a feeling. Hope you'll find it helpful. If you'd like to start using NVC in your own life, or start some other new practice, you'll find lots of support at my blog. There's The Lemon Pie Group with support for starting something new, as well as The Elephant Manifesto to help you get started.

    Non Violent Communication, Day 11

    Today's episode of the Non Violent Communication podcast focuses on Chapter 4 in Rosenberg's book, "Identifying and Expressing Feelings." I spend quite a bit of time talking about the professions in which people don't show much emotion, why that often takes place, and what to do when you decide not to follow the crowd in this behavior. I hope you'll join me. For comments and other goodies visit my blog: http://www.lizmcgowen.com/non-violent-communication-podcast/nvc-podcast-day-11-showing-emotion/

    Non Violent Communication, Day 10

    Today I'm talking a bit more about "observation without evaluation". I've run across about 4 words that are often used in our family when we evaluate rather than observe. Find out what these are (and how it all relates to cookies!).
