You are frustrated because you can’t seem to overcome differences between you and others.

You get stuck in conflict or distance.

✓ You postpone addressing things which gives you tension and resentment.

✓ You would like to deepen your NVC skills and apply them in tough situations.

✓ You apply NVC but focus mostly on how others feels and don’t take care of your own needs, which leaves you depleted.

This is not necessary…
Imagine that:

  • You’ve learned to fully resolve conflicts, so you have real peace and relaxation.

  • You know how to address things in a connecting way, creating confidence and space for you in your relationships.

  • Others opens up with you and show vulnerability so you experience more connection.

  • You know how to take care of yourself in your relationships, independent of what the other person does or says, which makes you feel more safe and empowered.

why you might find communication hard right now

Most of us never learned how to resolve conflict, how to say ‘no’ and how to take care of our needs.

So some compassion is needed: it is not your fault that you haven’t learned in school how to create harmony after a fight.

It’s not your fault that you may not have had parents that showed you how to bridge differences in a relationship.

The lack of education in the past about how to have great relationships is out of our hands.

What is in your control, is what you decide to do next.

NVC is like learning a new language and this takes time. It’s a muscle that you need to keep using, just like when you go to the gym.

When you do that, you can have an amazing relationship with yourself and others. I’ve seen this with all of my students, even the ones that didn’t have any hope.

The only thing you need is…

An ACTIONABLE APPROACH 

An ACTIONABLE APPROACH 

I’ve done extensive research on the best way to translate Nonviolent Communication’s theory into simple, doable action, and have done countless interviews with you to create a system that actually works for you.

This has resulted in the NVC Advanced Course.

 With this course you will:

  • Learn to know what you need also in challenging moments, so you are more confident and clear on that.
  • Learn to ask for what you want in a connecting way, so your needs will actually be met.
  • Learn how to make your NVC sound more natural.
  • Learn to resolve any conflict that may arise in the process, so you can feel more relaxed together.
  • Learn to deepen your empathy skills so that others will open up more

NVC is a model and every model has its limitations. To account for that I have added a few other methods that I find essential for relationships.

All in all, this is the only NVC program that can be done fully from your own home, either by yourself or with life support, and has been proven successful for both those who are in deep conflicts and those who just want to improve their connections.

“Life Changing”

– Clementine (France)

Our relationships determine our happiness.

A 75-year Harvard research study about happiness came to one resounding conclusion: good relationships are the number one factor in our overal happiness. We can have a nice job and money in the bank, but if we’re not happy with the people around us, this spoils everything. 

How the course works:

Access to the NVC Advanced Communication Formula

This consists of videos and exercises that will teach Nonviolent Communication advanced topics step by step. You can follow the modules in the safety and the privacy of your own home, at your own pace.

  • The videos will be available for at least 5 years (and probably longer), so you can also re-watch them after the program has finished.
  • The weekly videos are not available on Youtube or elsewhere. I sometimes add videos from my Youtube as an extra source.

Daily personal support and feedback from Marianne

In the Telegram app group specifically setup for my students. Ask any questions you have or bring in a case and I will guide you further every day of the working week. This way you will never need to wait until the next lesson if you’re stuck. It’s also great to build connection with the group.

  • You will get this daily guidance during the video weeks in the first 3 months and then another 3 months in case you are taking a bit longer.
  • There will be support for those who don’t have experience with Telegram. It works the same as Whatsapp and has a better privacy policy.
NVC course Cara Crisler

Premium Version: 10 live group calls with Cara Crisler, starting 25th September 2024. 

During the live calls you’ll  practice all the skills you’ve learned in the modules and get feedback. You can experiment in a safe environment. Before each session, you can send in your case and Cara Crisler will coach you on your specific situation. She will also regularly let you practice in break-out groups. We hear time and time again from students that they learn tons from each other’s cases and being coached one on one in the group setting.

  • There will be 10 sessions of 1,5 hours
  • Sessions will be held on Zoom
  • Session will be recorded in case you miss any
  • Read more about coach Cara further below on this page
  • Next series on Wednesdays: 25 Sept – 4 Dec (excl. 23 Oct), 8pm CEST. See frequently asked questions for the time in your timezone.

Getting linked with practice buddy

A practice buddy is a student from this course who you can set up calls with to:

  • practice NVC in a safe environment. Our partners, colleagues, or family members aren’t always the best place to practice new NVC skills, as we more easily get nervous or triggered in their presence.
  • be heard in the learning process and support each other in that
  • prepare talks that we want to have with someone in our live, and even role play those with the buddy
  • continue doing NVC after the course ends

A lot of people say this is the most valuable part of the course. Often times practice buddies stay connected for life! If you don’t have time for a buddy, don’t worry, you can opt out of this.

A little more info about the trainers:

I’m an NVC trainer and mediator.

Over the past years I’ve trained hundreds of people from the US, the Netherlands and other countries. I also own the biggest Youtube channel about NVC worldwide.

Before learning about NVC I suffered from depressions and was an enormous people pleaser. After learning about NVC I started to stand up for myself and deepened my relationships.

I can’t wait to share my tools with you and let you experience what NVC can bring!

Cara is an NVC trainer, mediator and accredited coach (at senior level by the European Mentoring & Coaching Council).

She learned NVC after moving from the States to the Netherlands.  ‘It helped me most in unlearning old patterns, like pleasing and avoiding conflict. It helped me learn how to be in tune with me, true to myself while staying in connection with important people in my life. I now apply it in all of my relationships: as a partner, mother, friend, colleague and perhaps the most important one of all, the one I have with myself.’

You might think…

I AM TOO BUSY RIGHT NOW…

I get it. And yes, you do need to put in some time to make the program work: it takes about one hour a week. But I did design the program in such a way that you can tailor it to your circumstances. Are you very full? Just come to the live calls. This is where we help you personally with your case. You have longterm access to the videos, so you can watch those at your own pace.

Do you have a bit more time? Watch the videos, do the exercises and participate actively in the Facebook Group. You can ask me questions there every day of the working week. All in all, you can adjust depending on your energy each week what you choose to participate in. It will be a relaxing and rewarding experience.

Oh and everything you learn during the course will save you so much time and so much energy!

WHAT IF I’M NOT GOOD AT THIS?

Maybe you have an image of yourself as not good at standing up for yourself. Or a label that you are ‘too aggressive’. I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to change. When you learn to judge yourself less and take care of what you need, that is what will reflect in your relationships.

Also, this program is not like school: there are no exams or grades…this is all for your benefit. And I know that people only learn when things are fun. So I made the program in such a way that it is joyful and inspiring to follow. I love humor and lightness and hope you will laugh during the course 🙂

I DON’T HAVE THE MONEY…

Consider this: the health of our relationships determines how we feel about our life. We may have a great job and a nice house, but if the time with the people around us sucks…our life sucks! It’s our strong, safe bonds that help us to be our best in all other areas of our life.

The investment for this course is nothing compared to that of an individual or relationship therapist. This is waaay more cost effective! And the investment for your life is so worth it..you will get that back: in time, energy, in joy..

I CAN DO THIS BY MYSELF

Yes, you can read books and watch Youtube videos to improve your relationships. But to really implement everything, is a whole different story. You need to know what things to start with and in what order to go. You need to actually DO things differently. You need to know what to do when you try something with your partner/colleague/friend and then they don’t react the way you expected.

This course is designed in a specific order that guarantees results. I help you with weekly exercises to actually act in a new way. And we know what to do with whatever reaction other people give – so we can tackle things together. That way you see progress fast and certain and you ensure not to make things worse.

FAQ

When does the course start?

The Standard version of the Advanced is ongoing so you can join and start anytime.

The Premium version is held once a year and the next set of live lessons stars on the 25th of September 2024.

Where does the course take place?

Everything is online — no travel, babysitter or even pants are required. You have access to the training for at least five years and probably longer, so you can go through the materials each week as they’re released in the member’s area, or you can slow things down and work at your own pace.

How much time do I need to commit?

If you plan to work through the program in real time, we recommend about one hour a week. If you’re not able to carve out that much time at first, don’t worry. You get at least 5 years access to the program and it’s available for you to work at your own pace. A lot of people who take the course have families and often full-time jobs – it’s designed to work for you. 

How big are the coaching call groups?

We allow 15 people max.

How does the Telegram Group work?

You get an invitation link to the group when you sign up for the course. The group is private, which means only people from our courses can access it. You can ask questions about the modules, bring in a case, share celebrations, connect with others.. You will need to join Telegram first if you don’t already use it. It works the same as a Whatsapp group.

If you have no experience with Telegram, I will guide you through it – no worries!

Can I get my company to pay?

Quite often yes, and we have a special sheet that explains the benefits of NVC for the workplace, email us to get it!

What happens after you register for the course?

After signing up you will receive a confirmation email. You will have access to the content/videos of the program  (modules are released once a week). You will also receive the info on how to access the Facebook Group and live calls for the Premium course by email.

What’s the price in my currency?

What dates and times do the live calls take place where I live?

Note that there is a time change on our end in October (clock goes back one hour), whereas in some other parts of the world this happens at a different date – google it for your country so you know exactly what is the starting time for you each week.
