The Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a communication model developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg. Consists of four key steps:
- Observation: Describe a situation without judgment.
- Feelings: Express your emotions related to the situation using “I” statements.
- Needs: Identify your unmet needs or values tied to your feelings.
- Requests: Make clear, actionable requests to meet everyone’s needs.
