The effectiveness of a communication can be measured by the impact it has on the counterpart. The interpretation of messages can be surprising: despite good intentions, comments or suggestions may produce negative reactions from the other party. It is thus very important to care about what we say and how we say it, to avoid misunderstandings.
Communication can be a minefield where people fight or retreat to protect themselves; yet it can also be a space of encounter, trust-building, and mutually beneficial exchange.
The method of non-violent communication has been handed down to us by Dr Marshall Rosenberg, a mediation expert in intricately difficult human relations. Like all methods, it works very well with extensive practice.
