Organizational Services
Free Introductory Sessions Offered to Businesses and Organizations
Have you ever wished that NVC was a part of the language spoken at your workplace, if it isn't already, or at more places where you do business?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if team members, managers and owners had access to more skills in their communication tool belts?
Aviva Longinotti, a founder of NVCSC, is offering Free Introductory Sessions (60-90 min) to businesses and organizations of all kinds. Please email her if you know a place that might be interested.

Organizational Diagnostics. Would you like your business or organization to be more effective, efficient, and collaborative? This requires a willingness to step back and explore the interactions of people in the context in which they operate. An Organizational Diagnostics helps identify structural and operational strengths and weaknesses, improve communication, decision-making, and goal setting. NVCSC trainer Christine King is available to work with clients interested in participating in this process. If you are a principal or director of a for-profit or non-for-profit organization, I am offering a pro-bono Organizational Diagnostics for one small company (5-15 employees) this summer. If you are interested, please contact Christine at cking@baymoon.com to discuss the possibilities.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs): for MFTs and/or LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. California Nursing CEUs are also available though trainings with Jean Morrison. Download the CEU verification form - pdf.

Testimonials
"I use NVC principles and strategies in almost every aspect of my work as Campus Ombudsman at UCSC: mediation, meeting facilitation, one-to-one interviews, and group interventions. I'm sure there was life before NVC, but I can't quite remember what it was!"

Laurie McCann, Campus Ombudsman, University of California Santa Cruz.
"Everything was extraordinarily useful. Prior to my experience in this class I felt supremely dissatisfied with my career choice. I feel the skills I've learned here have resulted in helping me develop a new and better understanding of my professional environment. Specifically, learning about listening and developing the language to articulate my needs was most helpful."
