Are you a leader who strives to inspire, get things done and act with integrity? Discover how to increase effectiveness and productivity by unlocking the power of connection and collaboration in your organization.
Nonviolent communication (NVC) is a revolutionary way to create and sustain a culture of shared partnership. Practicing compassion and authenticity at work opens the door to a consciousness that wakes people up to their full potential and supports efficiency, high morale, and trust.

Leaders in business and nonprofit organizations including executives, managers, and staff as well as consultants, coaches and NVC trainers who support development within organizations are welcome to join us for a 5 day retreat with optional year long program!

What people are saying about “Making Collaboration Real”
“I know I have the technical skills and the brain power to make a huge impact in the world. What I see holding me back is my communication skills – negotiation, mediation and facilitation. Not just to be used in one big negotiation, but everyday as I navigate my way through the office. Those little daily conversations add up to something even bigger. So I view this class as a key part of my business training. It is teaching how to, day by day, build relationships and my own personal power, something more powerful than an MBA.” ~An Independent Consultant
“Powerful. Powerful. Powerful. Making Collaboration Real has given me some of the most useful tools, concepts and skills that I can immediately apply to my work facilitating collaborative leadership programs for large organizations that want to break out of the silos and inertia and operate with greater ease, authenticity, and agility.” ~Lorraine Aguilar, P.E., President, Working Harmony, Inc.
“This retreat raises the bar of possibilities for collaboration in the workplace. Never again will you believe that a person is too hard to work with, a decision too complicated to make, or a conversation too difficult to have. You will leave with partners to support you and a plan of action.”~Shyrl McCormick, Fearless Conversations
“What I take away from Making Collaboration Real is inspiration, insight and specific skills to get to the essence of conflict within individuals, groups, and organizations in a way that is non-formulaic and evolves the power and impact of new solutions and what is possible.”~ Richard Michaels, Founding Partner, Coaching for Transformation
“BayNVC gives me a practical toolbox and opportunity to deepen and practice conflict resolution, empowering collaboration, strengthening communication, and achieving goals within our organization and those we support.”~Cindy Mercer, Co-Founder, Planet Heritage Foundation
