Marshall Rosenberg
NVC is a process that was developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D. in the 1960s. More than a technique, NVC develops a consciousness that promotes clear communication, deep understanding, and genuine, respectful connection between individuals and teams. Educational institutions, businesses, law enforcement, medical organizations, and governmental bodies across the world have attested to the effectiveness of NVC training.
