#17 - How Can I Share What I'm Learning Without Being Off-Putting?

Yvette Erasmus Season 1 Episode 17

This week's episode had several questions regarding offering Nonviolent Communication to others.  

It can be very hurtful when we believe we have a method of communication that might help strengthen our connection with others, but our loved ones aren't interested in hearing what we have to say.

A suggestion?  One of the best ways to inspire others to learn NVC is to live it.
