Compassionate Communication with Kathy Ziola

Do you wish that you could communicate better with others? Or that others would understand you more? Do you want to get your needs met in your relationships? You can! With skills learned through the Nonviolent Communication or Compassionate Communication model.

 

In this episode, Kathy Ziola, a certified trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication, discusses the four key components or curiosities of Nonviolent / Compassionate Communication: Observation, Feelings, Needs, Requests. She also talks about the importance of empathy in communication and provides the listeners with how compassionate communication looks like with an impromptu role play exercise with Peggy.

 

Communication is key in any relationship. We all are just trying to get our needs met. If we start with the facts, acknowledge our feelings, understand the need we have, and can ask for what will meet our need in a respectful, empathic way, communication and the response to it will be much improved.

Often conflicts arise at the level of strategies, which are the actions we take to meet the need we have. There are many ways or strategies to getting our needs met. Getting curious and having positive intentions and assumptions can improve the chances of our needs being met.
