From anger to peace
I've been passionate about advocating for peace since I was a young girl. But I struggled to manage my own anger towards towards my family, when volunteering, or with coworkers who didn't understand me. My education in science and IT didn’t help. When I started working, I knew that anger was not an emotion allowed in the workplace, yet managing conflicts was central to my work. I spent a lot of my energy repressing my emotions, not knowing how to express them appropriately. All I wanted was to be able to share my concerns in a positive way so that we could solve the problems that we were facing.
Then, I learned about Nonviolent Communication, also known as Compassionate Communication. My first encounter with it was an eye opener and I remember it vividly. I love how it embraces our humanity by helping us see our judgments as what they really are: signals, warning us that something is off.
Now, when something happens, I can perceive those signals very early on and decide what I want to do with them. I can control my reactions, decide what to say and preserve the relationships I care about.
​
I can now move from anger to peace, consciously. And so can you.
It took me lots of practice and a few years to get where I am. Now, I want to support others who have a hard time dealing with anger find their lasting peace. I draw on my own personal experience and extensive education to help people find their path and progress more quickly. awing on my own experience as well as my education.
Nonviolent Communication has changed my life, not only at work but also in my family and personal life. I even managed to mediate between my two teenagers and help them see a situation through each other's perspective!
