Non Violent Communication (NVC) for IDG 4th dimension: social skills
Related to the sub-dimension of Social Skills: communication skills and following the ideas of the "I statements" in the IDG growth path, I have found the Non Violent Communication (NVC) framework, which I think is very promising.
I didn't know about NVC, thank you for this.
Assuming your interlocutor cares about your feelings and needs in the first place, this could well be useful for effectively communicating them.
The problems comes, I think, when they show that they do not.
@Zeraphim Yeah, I see your point. NVC wouldn't be of any use. But with someone like that, is there any type of communication that serves your purpose? Do you even wish to talk to them?
At first, I thought there are going to be few cases of people who don't care about you, and you wish to communicate with them, but hey, probably a lot of bosses fall in this category XD
Are you thinking in someone in particular? What do you do in those cases?
@IagoParis I didn't know about NVC before this your post really helped. I think it might actually be really helpful in the long run because labelling how you felt rather than immediately placing blame on the other person through your words gives them a better chance to reflect on their actions.
Totally agree!!
@IagoParis
Thank you for this post as I did not know about NVC before I read it! 😊
I think it can be extremely useful in any relationship as a method of conflict resolution, it helps us stay rational in an emotional moment so problems can be resolved in a calm and effective manner.

1. I have never heard the term "Non-violent communication before." Rather, where I come from, we refer to this type of communication as "Being assertive."
2. What think is that the terms "Assertiveness" and "Non-violent communication" are not universal. However, the concept is.
@IagoParis I think this is a great innitiative

Bonjour, j'aimerais réussir à l'utiliser mais quand je suis dépasser par mes émotions je n'y arrive pas. Je ne sais pas discuter calmement.
@IagoParis I wasn't aware of NVC. Thank you for this post! It was very informative and insightful!
@IagoParis
NVC is new to me as well, it sounds like a good idea and yes it will help in conflict resolution but I think applying it in real life is still a difficult task.
@IagoParis 🖤
@IagoParis
I've generally seen a lot of these concepts in other notions about healthy communication, such as avoiding pointing fingers at other people through labeling our emotions and making requests to the other person instead of demands, but I haven't heard people really lay it out like this in a step-by-step way.
I think it's a super helpful summary of different conflict-resolution strategies we should keep in mind while we try to build an understanding between two people, so I would agree that NVC is very promising!
