“Do you speak giraffe?” — Discovering nonviolent communication (NVC)

Speaker: Gilles Vachon, LPCV, Grenoble, France (conference in french)

“Do you speak giraffe?” is an invitation to explore a language that makes human connection truly enjoyable, rich, and complete, beyond judgments and power struggles.

I offer you a clear and lively presentation of NVC developed by Marshall Rosenberg: an approach that allows us to identify our essential needs in any situation and to cultivate relationships based on what unites us rather than what divides us, whether between colleagues, friends, neighbors, family...

A time to discover the essential principles of NVC and take a fresh look at how we communicate—with others and with ourselves.

You will also meet two iconic characters: the Giraffe, who sees far because it is connected to its essential needs, and the Jackal, who bites, judges, and accuses.

Spoiler alert: we all have a little bit of both in us!
