Creating the Life You Want with Powerful Requests

A Recorded Telecourse with Miki Kashtan, CNVC certified Trainer, Author and Co-founder of Bay Area Nonviolent Communication and the North America NVC Leadership Program, from Oakland, California, USA

Listen to an Audio Snippet

Listen to Miki respond to a telecourse partcipant's question: How do we respond when we don't trust a "yes" answer to our request.

If you don't see media player above, or it doesn't start playing within 15 seconds, you probably need a newer version of the Adobe Flash Player for your computer: If so, this will help.

In this 5-session telecourse recording, you will learn what prevents you from asking for everything you want without fear. The class will include practices you can use on a daily basis to continue to increase your skills. Each session focuses on a different theme:

Session 1 – Why is it Hard to Ask for What we Want?
Session 2 – Overcoming Our Fear of No
Session 3 – Overcoming Our Fear of a Half-hearted Yes
Session 4 – The Solution Will Find us if we Focus on Connection
Session 5 – The Dance of Interdependence
