I was inspired by this topic after attending an NVC couples weekend. I learned how quickly you can learn to connect in a meaningful way with your fellow humans, but also how subtly our language includes violence and judgement. These are such practical empathy skills.
In this course, you will learn about the empathy cards resource and the subtleties that make Nonviolent Communication such a powerful way of connecting. This has been a profound yet simple way to improve emotional intelligence.
I am a counsellor, husband, and father and this course is absolutely relevant to all these aspects of my life. After taking this course you will have the skills to better connect with yourself, and also the self-awareness to be able to express yourself without muddying your message with the violence and judgement that are such a natural part of our language.
You will learn how to use the ‘feeling and needs’ empathy cards and how they fit into the Non-Violent Communication Dance Floor. You will also Integrate the NVC philosophy with your personal style of helping by watching applied lectures and demonstrations.
Course Outline:
Section 1: The Cards and Empathy
Section 2: The Dance Floor
Section 3: Applications
Section 4: Gratitude
I actually think that the best way to learn anything is experience – and for this topic – I think that’s especially true. So, take the time to practice the skills being taught, and even better, get along to a local NVC practice group or course and experience the magic for yourself.
Bonus Materials:
- You will get a downloadable copy of the NVC Dance floor to download and print.
- You will get a downloadable copy of common faux feelings and/or feelings that blame to download and print.

I have been looking for a video presentation of the principles of NVC. This one is clear and helpful. The price was affordable.

Good course, one improvement: It would have been good to know that one should get a deck of cards before the course. I did not find where to get the set of cards in the course instructions.

The subtitles are awful and inaccurate. The content is also a little brief- I would like more explanations and examples. (Copied from Udemy Reviews)

I loved this course because it was so easy to understand. I am familiar with NVC and it is an area I want to explore further. Your course really helped solidify what I have learnt already but it also exposed further the difference between jackal and feelings as sometimes I can still think my jackal are feelings which gets me into trouble as it comes across as blame. I finished my counselling studies a year ago and this is an area I would like to specialise in and the way you explained and demonstrated things and the use of the cards made me feel very excited and more confident as I too have a need to be able to contribute to people’s quality of life and to also bring greater connection, compassion and empathy into my own personal relationships.

Joel has a friendly manner about him that suggests he cares for my wellbeing as well as those around me. The information I have gained and the process I have learned will no doubt assist me in my relationships, as well as dealing with those awful feelings that arise at times. Thanks for this, Joel.
