    Currently we have four NVC practice groups in central Oklahoma. Groups usually consist of six to twelve members. If you are interested in forming a new NVC practice group, we may be able to help you find others who are also interested. We can give you some materials also on how to start. Just email us at tom@connectingcommunication.com 

    Leading Yourself Power-With Leader Development Level I : : A 12-Month Learning Program

    The "Leading Yourself" program was designed for people within businesses and nonprofits who would like to learn the skills of needs-based communication and needs-based organizational structures. As the first year of a 2-year leadership program, it focuses on the core skills of an integration of the processes of Nonviolent Communication™ (NVC) and Dynamic Self-Governance™ (DSG). While NVC is often applied to personal healing or intimate relationships, this program is unique in its application of NVC to working relationships within workplace environments. The second year of the program applies these core skills to "Leading Others."
