So many of us want joy, health, and happiness but are unaware of how our thoughts, words, and nonverbal communication get in the way. The good news is that we can learn to connect more effectively and joyfully with those around us.
The skills we learn become a practice, then a habit, and finally a way of being. Life becomes easier and more joyful when we communicate authentically and step into our power.
What does it mean to communicate joyfully?
Kristin Collier blends the latest research in communication and neuroscience with her longtime practice of Nonviolent (a.k.a. Compassionate) Communication to bring you a practice both joyful and authentic.
Course Dates: Week of April 1- May 22, 2025. (See specific dates and times per class.)
Session replays: If you can't join us live or take a makeup class that week, the recording of each session will be available for 3 months.
Class Description:
In this 8-week immersive live Zoom course, you'll learn how to clarify and focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. You'll learn to engage actively in conversations according to your interests and share what matters to you in an upbeat way.
Communication includes far more than the spoken word. You'll learn how to navigate the unseen, gauging the energy of your own and others words. Leaning into your felt experience, you'll better determine how, when, and with whom you want to connect.
Topics include:
Approaching conflict in ways that avoid power-struggles
Empathy and self-empathy (Nonviolent a.k.a. Compassionate Communication or NVC)
Looping and summarizing for clarity and connection
How to shift the way you hear things for better connection and self-connection (NVC)
Understanding how power dynamics pop up in word choice and how that feels
Power-with vs. power-over
Guard-rails: a new take on boundaries that helps you move towards your goals
How to avoid resistance in conversation for more joy and connection
1.25 hour Zoom sessions (all are recorded for use in 2025 cohort only) include:
A check in to reflect on how students are applying their practices to real life
An illustrated presentation on the topic
Opportunities to practice and/or discuss with a friend
A check out to clarify learning
Opportunities for further expansion offered weekly and encouraged daily
Included in this class:
Access to class materials is available on the class platform, including PDF's to print. A Participant Plan is offered as an optional guide before each session. Recordings will be accessible for 3 months.
Opportunities to find a buddy for accountability and practice.
The ability to “drop in” on a different class live, if room, to make up a session you miss during the same week.
