Endorsements
"Coaching for Transformation has deepened my NVC practice and my ability to really support people when connecting with their deepest values, dreams and goals. The course setting complements the NVC model in a remarkable way. The trainers create a supportive and caring atmosphere that allows transformation to unfold. I have never in my life experienced learning so empowering, joyful, rewarding and life changing. I have started with clients and the training has prepared me to be a real coach, not a "rent a friend" person. The course is the best thing that has happened to me in years and worth every penny! I highly recommend participating if you are interested in contributing to change that matters." - Daniela Herzog

"I'm in a coaching program this year that I highly recommend. I think coaching greatly complements NVC work both with individuals and with groups, empowering people to co-create what they want to manifest in the world and truly create shared power. This program is much richer than I expected -- even touching on relationship coaching which offers a highly efficient model for mediation. This program also leads to being accredited as a coach-- a valuable professional credential. Note that scholarships are available -- I'd act soon to get that set up!" - Dian Killian
