More quotes by Marshall B. Rosenberg
Imagine connecting with the human spirit in each person in any situation at any time. Imagine interacting with others in a way that allows everyone's need to be equally valued. Imagine creating organizations and life-serving systems responsive to our needs and the needs of our environment.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Some people use NVC to respond compassionately to themselves, some to create greater depth in their personal relationships, and still others to build effective relationships at work or in the political arena. Worldwide, NVC is used to mediate disputes and conflicts at all levels.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
All that has been integrated into NVC has been known for centuries about consciousness, language, communication skills, and use of power that enable us to maintain a perspective of empathy for ourselves and others, even under trying conditions.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
The only time a message (label) can scare us is if we think there is such a thing, and that such a thing is a disgrace.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
There are the two main reasons we don't get our needs met. First, we don't know how to express our needs to begin with and second if we do, we forget to put a clear request after it, or we use vague words like appreciate, listen, recognize, know, be real, and stuff like that.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Avoid 'shoulding' on others and yourself!
Marshall B. Rosenberg
As radical as it may seem, it is possible to do things only out of play. I believe that to the degree that we engage moment by moment in the playfulness of enriching life- motivated solely by the desire for its enrichment- to that degree are we being compassionate with ourselves.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
When we judge others we contribute to violence.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
NVC requires us to be continually conscious of the beauty within ourselves and other people.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
We want people to change because they see better ways of meeting their needs at less cost, not because of fear that we're going to punish them, or 'guilt' them if they don't. This applies to ourselves as well.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
To be able to hear our own feelings and needs and to empathize with them can free us from depression.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
The first step in healing is to put the focus on what's alive now, not what happened in the past.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Once you have access to key people in an organization, if you go into a meeting with enemy images of those people - then you are not going to connect.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Interpretations, criticisms, diagnoses, and judgments of others are actually alienated expressions of our unmet needs.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Miracles can happen when we can keep our consciousness away from analyzing and classifying one another.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Criticism, analysis, and insults are tragic expressions of unmet needs.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
I find that my cultural conditioning leads me to focus attention on places where I am unlikely to get what I want. I developed NVC as a way to train my attention-to shine the light of consciousness-on places that have the potential to yield what I am seeking.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
All people ever say is: THANK YOU (a celebration of life) and PLEASE (an opportunity to make life more wonderful).
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Nonviolent Communication is a way of keeping our consciousness tuned in moment by moment to that beauty within ourselves and others, and not saying anything that we think might in any way tarnish people's consciousness of their own beauty.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
They have most likely said it because they have an unmet need.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
