"Introducing
the Coach!..." Let me introduce myself. My name is Paul Sterling. After a long career as a commercial fisherman in Alaska, I spent twenty years studying and teaching communication skills in government, business and private practice. And of course, I tried to use my communication strategies in my personal relationships. But they didn’t always work. They were great for business relationships, but not so good fro personal relationships. Business communication has to do with negation, trading and compromise, as telling people what to do and how to do it. These things didn’t work well at home. In fact, I have one divorce and two broken engagements under my belt. So I knew I had more to learn. About 10 years ago I found the work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication (www.cnvc.org). I was amazed at how powerful, useful and simple it was. I was so moved by this work that for the last 10 years I have studied this method of relationship communication. A few years ago, I blended NVC with systems theory, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and neuro-associative conditioning with Dr. Rosenberg’s work to create an incredibly effective way to compassionately connect with yourself and others.
I teach this simple
yet powerful communication method to prison inmates,
at-risk students, university professors, therapists,
counselors |
