I
have found that the principals of the center for nonviolent communication have
aided me in my wanting to become an effective communicator. People
who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication,
increased understanding, deepening connection and conflict resolution. (The
Center for Nonviolent Communication, n.d.).
I
communicate with many people on a daily basis at work and half of those people I work with , I have meet for the first
time. For example, different cultures and perspectives add to the conflicts
that I must think of when I talk t them. I have used the NVC main principle of the
natural state of compassion when no violence is present in the heart. Even if I
am faced with a dispute, practicing this ideology has cleared my mind. Cleared
my mind of anger and hatred. Both factors that can blind any positive communication
skills that I could engage in.
My colleague at work. We have had many conflicts as far
as misunderstandings since I have worked in my current job. Now, we are very
close as we have become a very great team. I feel that not only I, but she also
just put her guard down. I had to put all our past differences in the past and
engage in effective communication with an open mind and heart. I also try to
show my enthusiasm to others at work with a smile, something that I did not do
as often. My non verbal communication skill of showing a smile has made me more
approachable as well.
