Promoting a more compassionate world where everyone’s needs matter
At Compassionate Communication Center of Ohio, we envision a world where people connect across differences and resolve conflict nonviolently and collaboratively—not through the use of violence, force, or coercion but by connecting with our common humanity and engaging our compassionate nature.
We envision a world where people find creative and interactive ways to transform their conflicts through a communication process that connects us across differences in gender, age, race, sexual orientation, religion, and political beliefs. A world where peace, mutual respect, and compassionate relationships are the norm.
The use of Compassionate Nonviolent Communication (NVC):
Offers life-enriching tools to create an environment where people use communication to exchange the information necessary to resolve their differences peacefully.
Emphasizes emotional intelligence over intellectual analysis by providing a life-changing way of interacting that facilitates the flow of communication with a focus on universal human needs by employing emotional intelligence in expressing what’s going on in people.
Raises the bar for communication by relying on objective observations rather than evaluations.
Avoids making people defend themselves from value-laden judgments by employing clear requests in place of demands.
Allows everyone to get their needs met on their own terms without coercion, fear of retribution, or loss of self-esteem.
Below are some of our free offerings so you can familiarize yourself with nonviolent communication and introduce more empathy into your lives.

You will explore ways to navigate conflict and foster an environment where collaboration can emerge and grow. You will come to understand what empathy looks like in the workplace; explore how to navigate reactivity; learn the ingredients to cultivate a collaborative workplace environment; and, finally how to offer and receive feedback for growth and effectiveness.
