When we disagree with what is happening in our world we usually see two choices: (a) keep quiet and keep up a pretense of peace (b) disagree and risk burning bridges. Nonviolent communication provides a third option: share your own experience and ask for what is life-giving. This talk explores the soft skill necessary to speak up in a nonviolent way. Learn to suspend judgement, feel your emotions, be vulnerable, ask for what you need and see the best in other people.
