Susan Skye, Certified NVC Trainer: Have you experienced inauthenticity, confusion and flatness in expressing empathy with others? Do you long to create a more natural quality of energy as you practice empathy? Or are you a trainer looking for guidance to teach workshop participants a more natural flow in their empathy practice?
In this interactive, pre-recorded training video and associated exercise, Susan Skye helps you unlearn existing, negative associations with the term "needs" to instead build a new association grounded in your natural state of compassion.
Part 1 — Susan discusses the "aliveness" of human needs and our culturally inherited view of needs.
Part 2 — Susan continues the discussion by sharing an example and exercise from her own experience.
Part 3 — Susan demonstrates the "aliveness" of human needs. You'll need pen and paper.
Part 4 — Susan continues the exercises with audience interaction to demonstrate the concepts in real life.
