Jeff BrownJeff Brown is the new Executive Director of CCCO
I am honored to have been selected by the board of directors as the next director of CCCO. I have led several trainings in Central Ohio, and from the beginning, I sensed there was something special about this community. I have such excitement to be back (I lived in Columbus in 1996-97) and deepen relationships I already have, and develop new ones as well. As a native of Ohio, I am happy to return to my home state and bring full circle what I have learned and experienced with NVC around the world. I look forward to this opportunity!
Sincerely, Jeff Brown
Welcome to a world where everyone's needs matter.
Nonviolent Communication is a world where communication skills become life-enriching tools, emotional intelligence is valued over intellectual analysis, and our published self-help books and booklets deliver practical, real-world outcomes for readers like you. Welcome to the world of Nonviolent CommunicationSM.
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a life-changing way of interacting that facilitates the flow of communication needed to exchange information and resolve differences peacefully. With its focus on human feelings and needs, the practice of NVC emphasizes emotional intelligence over intellectual analysis in expressing what’s going on in people. With its reliance on objective observations rather than evaluations NVC avoids making people defend themselves from value-laden judgments. And finally, by employing clear requests in place of demands, NVC raises the bar for communication skills by allowing everyone to get their needs met on their own terms, without coercion, fear of retribution, or loss of self-esteem.
