“After many years of feeling lost, disconnected and depressed, I experience NVC as the compass I have always longed for. Clueless of my own feelings and needs and eager to avoid conflict, I used to focus mainly on others’ needs. Today NVC helps me navigate life with compassion and empathy, to connect with myself and others, and to be present with what is.”
My Story
I am Wendel Zwaal, a CNVC Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
My passion is to help individuals and teams develop empathy, clarity and connection in the way they communicate. I offer trainings and workshops for a variety of audiences and apply NVC to specific contexts, such as Connective Communication with Children. My trainings are practical, interactive and designed to be directly applicable in daily life and work.
I also work as a mediator. Using NVC principles and techniques, I create a safe and respectful environment where people in conflict or disagreement can truly hear one another. This approach helps parties reach peaceful solutions with greater understanding and relief.
My own journey with NVC started when I discovered how profoundly it could transform life. It helped me soften conflict, find inner calm and build more meaningful relationships. Since then, it has been my mission to create opportunities for others to experience this way of connecting and understanding.
If you are curious about Nonviolent Communication, mediation, or training, I warmly invite you to get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
