John Kinyon, Certified NVC Trainer:

Marshall Rosenberg, founder of NVC, suggests that there are two requests that are the most transformative to relationships, (1) What’s alive in both of us? and (2) What would make life more wonderful for both of us? This telecourse recording, with John Kinyon, offers an easy-to-digest overview of how carefully crafted requests inspire joyful relationships.

Specifically, this telecourse recording explores the following aspects of requests:

- Requests vs. demands – saying “yes” only if it’s play
- Using present and positive action language
- Compassionate giving and receiving – acting from the enjoyment of meeting needs, contributing to well-being and enriching life
- Interdependence – seeking to value everyone’s needs
- Seeing your needs and requests as a gift to others, and seeing others’ needs and requests as a gift to you
