<H2>Is there a difficult conversation—with a boss, manager or peer—that you’re avoiding? Miscommunication lies at every level in every organization. No matter the disagreement poor communication inhibits progress.</H2>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Welcome to Nonviolent Communication [NVC] with Carlene Robinson, the only certified NVC Facilitator in Tennessee. From the NVC framework, you will become highly self-aware and attuned to your default communication patterns—both in terms of what you say and how you listen to others.  You will learn to treat miscommunication less as a conflict and more as a cue—to more clearly express your own needs and to seek clarification on the needs of others.</DIV>
