    Helping people speak and listen
    from the heart
    • Are you or your organization facing challenges in communicating and resolving conflicts in a peaceful and effective manner?

    Based on Marshall Rosenberg's model of Non-Violent Communication, "Kind Communication" helps people speak and listen from the heart. By communicating feelings and needs, rather than blame, guilt, shame, attack and punishment, we are far more likely to get our needs met. (See Center for Non-Violent Communication.) Cathy offers assistance in Kind Communication through classes, individual coaching, and mediation.

    Classes Individual Coaching
    Confidential coaching sessions help individuals to cope with difficult communication challenges. Sessions are available in person or by telephone.

    How to Open Your Heart…
    …in spite of it all? HeartMath is a calming biofeedback training which can help adults and children decrease stress and access an open-hearted state. Using visual games, it facilitates relaxation and improves performance while benefiting the immune and cardiovascular systems.

    Mediation and Conflict Resolution
    In Marshall Rosenberg's style of mediation and conflict resolution, the mediator helps each party to clearly state their needs, then works to assure that the other party has understood. At times, the mediator meets with each party separately to listen and assist them in clarifying their needs, prior to bringing both parties together. Then, both parties explore possible strategies for meeting needs that will provide a "win-win" for everyone.

    Mediation Sessions
    A mediation session is typically two hours in length. Should further mediation be needed, it will be scheduled for a later date. Cathy will travel to your site. If necessary, a neutral location can be arranged. Sliding fee scale: $75 - $150 per session.
