Notes on Video 1 from Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication

Notes on Video 1 from Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication:

* The two focuses of this kind of communication are: What's alive in you right now, and What would make life wonderful for you right now? Or more succinctly: feelings and needs

* All people ever say are Please and Thankyou: what would make life wonderful for them, and gratitude for it

* Self-empathy: observing our own feelings and needs, before continuing with the conversation. And "giraffe mourning": regretting past actions, but without criticism or judgement.

* Take your time, take your time: reorient yourself, rather than assume the default pre-programmed way of looking at things
