Bring 365 Days of Integrating NVC into Book Form

Hi,

Thank you for clicking and coming here!

In case you don't know me, I'm Kathy Ziola, a certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication. I have been sharing NVC for the past 17 years with people from all walks of life. It has been my great joy and honor to contribute in this way. Common comments I have heard from participants in training events is that it is hard to keep NVC in the forefront of the mind and to be able to integrate it to use daily. Statements like, “I wish I could carry you around in my ear to help me in those difficult conversations!” have come up often. These comments inspired me to create a guidebook of practices and explorations using the skills and consciousness that align us with living and practicing NVC from moment to moment.

It has been an adventure to create the content for this book. I am very excited about the potential for depth, fun and growth in the yearlong journey. I believe it will be a tremendous support for people wanting to maximize their learning and living of this beautiful way of being. I envision the impact as ripples of compassion. I fully trust that this guidebook will help people embody NVC and change their lives and circles of influence.

I invite you in this moment, yes, this moment, to take a deep breath, slow down, and notice what it is like to be here, just here. Pause and notice after each question: How is your body? How are you feeling? What is the life energy like in you right now? What beautiful needs/values are fulfilled for you in this moment? What is your heart longing for? Simply notice with gentle welcome and compassion. Just a breath, a moment of pure presence. This is life. This is a simple NVC moment. Enjoy!

In the process of this project, I realized I needed help and have been able to invest funds to gain support to get me this far. I am now ready to bring it to the point of publishing. I admit I was a bit naïve about the knowledge, work, and cost required for publishing a book professionally. I have found that to do it in a way I believe will create the best success in contributing to the world, publishing support seems to be the next step. This requires investment beyond my means at this time. Your gift will help pay for the publishing preparation process and a launch guidance program.

Maybe you are one of the people who has made one of the types of comments I mentioned above. Perhaps you are a dear friend, a workshop participant who appreciates your experience with me, or someone who firmly believes in NVC and would like to support this endeavor. Maybe you have been touched by something I have said or done that has supported you. Perhaps you love compassion and struggle to bring it forward in the ways you would like, and you are anxious to receive the support a book like this would give you. Perhaps you enjoy supporting projects that align with your values. If any of this describes you or some other reason moves you to donate, please share whatever feels good to you and your heart. All will be received with deep gratitude for your gift.

I appreciate any support you may enjoy sharing as I bring this project to completion.

I have not yet landed on the final title and would love to receive your feedback and ideas. Here are some titles I am considering. What captures your interest and appeals to your desire to engage in this book?
