I feel that so many practitioners would benefit from this training. I do hope you will be able to deliver it again.

It is a way of coding and reproducing excellence that enables you to consistently achieve the results that you want both for yourself and your team. It is a process of modelling the conscious and unconscious patterns that are unique to each of us in such a way that we are continuously moving toward a higher potential.   Neuro – by increasing our awareness of the patterns in our thinking, we can learn how these thought patterns influence the results we are getting.   Linguistic – by listening to what we say, we can understand more about what and how we think. Learning to understand language and the impact of our words on others is often key to changing team dynamics.   Programming – by exploring the habits we have, the beliefs we hold and our strategies, we are able to explore alternatives and thereby give ourselves choices.   Train the Trainer This 4 day programme supports participants in developing an understanding of some core training principles and practices.  They will have the opportunity to design and present.   • Understand how to plan training and development activities to meet the individual needs of the learners • Cultivate an emotionally containing environment for participants • Present your self, your session and facilitate with ease and confidence • Evaluate and improve your events and programmes NV Foundations for the Early Years Manager This 2 day programme is experiential and involves the participants developing proactive attitudes and styles of leadership synonymous with emotionally intelligence approaches to working with others.  It meets the requirements of CNVC foundation certification process.     • Understand the theory of Nonviolent Education and the work of Dr Marshall Rosenberg • Lead with confidence, humility and compassion • Be assertive and resolve conflicts with care and confidence • Offer honest feedback without insulting others • Hear others, even when they speak in critical ways “If we as teachers have experience of hierarchical structures, but not received any education how to convey democratic values, these questions become significantly more difficult.”   “If we are serious about wanting to implement democratic values, we need to integrate and express them in the daily work, not only through beautiful words in plans. We need to include colleagues, parents and management in this work as well.”  In this area NVC can be of great support.
