Introduction into Non Violent Communication

/in /by

Tuesday, 6th February 2018, Tilman Rieger for MOTIVATE Shanghai

Communication is a basic human activity that everyone should continue to work on to be more effective in life and at work.  After all, it is our main tool to connect with one another. It is a competency that is acquired throughout life but unfortunately not always in the most effective way which can then cause frustration, fear, relationship problems, childhood difficulties, violence and even wars.

The Psychologist Dr. Marshall Rosenberg has developed a simple, yet powerful method to help this problem. He calls it Non violent communication (NVC). NVC can save marriages, help parents raise their children, schools and all other institutions to function better. It can even stop rapes and murders by shifting the attacker’s focus away from anger.

NVC teaches people how to:

a)    Remain connected while communicating in challenging situations.
b)    Prevent the counterpart from becoming defensive.
c)    Take responsibility for our own feelings, words and actions.
d)    Do not take responsibility for the feelings of others.  

Improving our communication techniques can help us keeping an attitude of mutual respect. Poor communication methods tend to stop communication altogether, or drop it down into the survival mode, where we tend to compete rather than cooperate to solve our problems.

Workshop | Introducing an unique methodology to be happy!

workshop in shanghai how to be happy

Hello Everybody

I am Albin王乐心 

For those who don’t know me you can see me sometimes around Donghu road in Shanghai, they called me the mayor there 🙂

I’ve spent 6 years in Shanghai. 

For the last 10 years I’ve been creating business around the world: France, Japan, USA and China. Each of them taught me something that led me to my next venture. 

Sometimes as an entrepreneur, I felt lonely in front of an issue or decision to take. It’s hard to share with family, they can be worried about you. It’s also hard to share true feelings with friends because we have our pride and face issue. 

So in 2017 when a CRISIS happened to me, I wondered what really matters to me in life. In chinese the word CRISIS means opportunity and danger at the same time.

I took the positive side of it and decided that in my last 10 years of business and 32 years of life, I always enjoyed sharing stories with people and help them to solve issues and somehow to be happier.

I also decided to take action, I joined a Harvard course on positive psychology to dig more into the subject and started a 100 people life purpose experiment. From 18 to 80 years old diverse backgrounds I investigated the source of happiness for them.

This led me to create my own methodology to make people Happier.

In this workshop people learnt about:

  • The pillars of happiness

  • Key questions you probably never ask yourself to find your source of happiness

  • Different tips to be happier you can use in daily life

Thanks for your support, love you.
