How easy is it for you to recognize and express what it is you’re feeling and which of your needs aren’t being met? Do you find communicating what you’re experiencing to others challenging!? If so, I encourage you to check out this episode! I’m joined by Angela Walkley, a NonViolent Communication assessor and trainer and the two of us dive into a conversation around the art of recognizing feelings and needs, not making assumptions and catching when we’re blaming, judging and in perceived stories and the importance of empathy. Angela shares a recent situation she was navigating to support us in making more sense of the brilliant ways NonViolent Communication can help in times of conflict and where people may have very different experiences at play. As someone who’s only recently been introduced to the NonViolent Communication world, I’m excited to share this conversation with you because this work has helped me take more responsibility for my own experiences and see the bigger picture more clearly! Mentioned Resources:For resources and more on Nonviolent Communication, visit https://www.cnvc.org/For more about Angela and her offerings, visit www.angelawalkley.comAbout the Guest:Angela dwells in the beauty of needs that arise in herself and between herself and others. She is an Assessor and Trainer with the international Center for NonViolent Communication. She worked for over a decade leading heart-based decision-making related to land and social justice with indigenous, government, industry and environmental organizations. She meets groups in the space that divides them - to help them hear the depth of what matters to them, to express themselves with care and to find a path forward together. In the more recent decade, she has been offering transformational programs for those that are looking to cultivate a personal and global consciousness of openness, inclusion and connection. Angela lives, works, plays and prays on the unceded lands of the Sahtloot, Sasitla, Leeksun and Puntledge people in western Canada.To study with Angela, please check out her offerings at: www.angelawalkley.com Connect with the Host:Learn more about Nicole - www.nicolelohse.com/about Download The Experiential Guide - www.nicolelohse.com/experiential-guide Join me on the podcast - www.nicolelohse.com/experiential-podcast Instagram - www.instagram.com/nlohseTikTok - www.tiktok.com/@nicole.lohseThanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
