What People are Saying

Lev Natan

I have less stress and more confidence when I need to have a difficult conversation with someone.  And, I am also more able to shift thought patterns and negative communication habits in the moment. Most importantly, we stopped feeling the need to go to a couples’ therapist, because we are confident that we can handle our communication on our own.

Sharon Coleman offers a very interesting and informative course. We all have to deal with this issue as we advance through life. It provides a construct for dealing with difficult relationships in all aspects of our lives, and it provides a framework for moving ahead in a positive manner. It is very much worthy of consideration.

This workshop broadened and deepened my emotional awareness and communication, and has continued to enrich the relationships I hold most dearly in my life. It has also served to bridge a divide with those people with whom I struggle to connect.

P. Slattery

Since taking “Conflict as a Doorway to Radical Connection,” I feel more connected to my feelings and needs and able to communicate more honestly and clearly with others. I’ve also found I’m less reactive in the moment, and more able to ask others about what they’re feeling & needing (and listen!). I’m experiencing less drama, less stress and more connection. Sharon is so skillful and relaxed in her approach to teaching NVC—it just sunk in!

Sharon Coleman is a master of letting a class know where she’s heading with them and keeping them on track. And I applaud the overall objective of learning how to express oneself authentically without making the other person wrong. I will admit that the goal is a not easy to achieve, but there are enough little successes along the way to keep making the effort.

I recommend giving yourself the opportunity to hear and to practice (in a safe environment) Sharon’s ideas for changing your approach in dealing with the people in your life!

I have an increased capacity for gratitude, forgiveness and acceptance. Even in these very challenging times, I experience a quiet presence in the face of the noise of the world…..

These tools are simple and effective and Sharon delivers them in such an inviting, deep, and fun way!  I am amazed to find how much more skillful I am about navigating my own emotional world and how I can extend that same compassion to all my relationships.
