The Dialogic Approach
We all face challenges when addressing complex topics, especially those that evoke strong emotions. Navigating these conversations can be particularly nuanced for high-achieving women and first-generation leaders.
The Dialogic Approach emphasizes the power of dialogue and listening, grounded in nonviolent communication, to foster shared understanding.
We aim to improve workplace dynamics, community relations, and personal interactions. Our discussions will equip you with practical tools to communicate more effectively and compassionately.
Join us and our guests in each minisode as we explore best practices and strategies for having difficult conversations.
The Dialogic Approach
The Four Pillars
What are the four pillars of NVC?
- Observations
- Emotions
- The Need
- State Your Request (CTA)
These pillars, which will be discussed further in this minisode, are pivotal in your way of communication, like a giraffe.
What is a giraffe in terms of NVC?
Giraffes possess some of the biggest hearts among all animals, with dimensions reaching up to 60 cm and weighing around 10 kg.
Within the framework of Nonviolent Communication, the giraffe represents a desire to communicate and listen with kindness and empathy — truly embodying a large heart!
Moreover, these creatures feed on foliage from trees with sharp thorns (like acacia trees), thanks to their resilient lips and flexible tongues enable them to maneuver around the thorns skillfully.
Symbolically, this gives giraffes the ability to handle difficult discussions deftly!
