Hi there,

My name is Juliana. I am one of the facilitators for The Bigbie Method. Ryan usually writes to you each week, however he is busy working on updating our Intro Course! We are very excited for the changes he is making. Specifically, we are setting up the Intro so that instead of meeting weekly for instruction, individuals will work through their pre-course material, and then practice what they learned in the Empathy Gym. This means we can offer the Intro Course as open enrollment instead of having cohorts at set times. We believe this will make the course more accessible to people, so if you know of anyone who maybe has been interested in taking it, but the timing didn’t work out, this new modification may work for them. Please pass along the news!

And on that note, with the holidays approaching, you may want to give the gift of NVC to some of your friends or loved ones. Perhaps a gift certificate for our Introduction to NVC course? Give the gift that keeps on giving...lol! To do so, please click here and get your gift certificate now. The new open-enrollment format will be going live in early January, just in time for people to start the New Year with NVC as part of their journey.

🎙️ Podcast Episode 117: Slowing Down Our Misunderstanding

In Episode 117, Dr. B and Heather go "live" with a misunderstanding they had one day when they were scheduled to record a podcast episode. Listen in and see if you can pick out empathy responses, expressing using Observations, Feelings, and Needs - and see, also, how they use Connecting Requests. If you are new to NVC, and don't know these terms/concepts yet - just listen in and see if you can determine how this conversation is different than how many conflicts go.
