What Are You Protecting? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Defensiveness isn't the bad guy. It's a natural human response — one that exists for good reason. The question worth asking isn't why other people get so defensive, but why do I? In this episode I explore what defensiveness is actually protecting, why it's almost always about identity, and what it takes to let something land without immediately mounting a defense.

Anger is Not the Enemy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A question I hear often: I've been studying NVC for years and I still lose my temper. Why is that? In this episode I address the two assumptions embedded in that question — and why both get in the way of what NVC can actually offer. Anger is not the enemy.

When Marshall asked how to translate the word "selfish," the translator

In this episode, I'm addressing some of the objections people have to Nonviolent Communication which make a lot of sense and are well worth exploring.

This is exactly what happens when someone embarks on learning any new language. They will sound stilted before they sound fluent. I walk through the four NVC steps to show why each one is closer to plain honesty than to perfo
Making Life Wonderful (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eleven years ago, following Marshall Rosenberg's death, I wrote an essay titled Making Life Wonderful. Reading it again recently, I was reminded of just how profound my encounter with Rosenberg was, and how the encounter continues to reverberate. This episode is an account of what drew me to Nonviolent Communication in the first place .. a powerful way of seeing that asks us to take responsibility for our lives, our impact on others, and the world at large. NVC is revolutionary work in that it a
