(Taiwan) Authenticity, Intimacy, and Trust [Feb. 21-23, 2020]

Creating the Relationships You Want

Do you see me?

Most of us long to be fully authentic in our relationships. We want to be open and loved for who we are. Yet turning up with full honesty can be challenging and scary. Will we be heard? Will we be seen for our intentions? And will we maintain trust and connection even we are fully honest, direct and authentic?

Do you hear me?

Most of us long to be heard—with accuracy, tenderness, and understanding. But will the other person turn up with openness and empathy, or defensiveness, misunderstanding, demands or blame? And when misunderstanding does occur, how do we restore connection and trust?

Do you accept me?

Everyone longs for both authenticity and acceptance: being embraced fully for who we are. Acceptance without authenticity is meaningless. How do we get both—especially with those we care about most?

In this interactive and highly engaging program, learn practical, life-changing skills to:

  • Confirm that you have been heard fully and have heard others accurately
  • Confidently understand what matters most, on a core level, in any situation
  • Resolve differences in a mutually caring way
  • Co-create solutions you want, free of demand, guilt or shame
  • Foster openness, cooperation, and trust
  • Find greater intimacy, harmony, acceptance, and connection
  • Effectively identify your needs and the needs of others in any situation and find solutions that are mutually satisfying and relationship-building.

What People are Saying about this Program:

“You are frequently on my mind, but even more so recently as we dropped off our daughter at college this week. I felt so satisfied and grateful for where we are in our relationship, as mother and daughter, and a family unit and SO much of that is because of work I did with you!!!! Really, Dian, you’ve forever touched and enhanced my life and it ripples out to my family and others! THANK YOU for what you do in the world, and how you do what you do!!!”

“Before I attended the workshop I didn’t know anything about NVC and didn’t know what to expect. It was a wonderful experience: Dian is a highly professional, emphatic trainer and coach with a warm personality and deep insight into what she’s doing and in people’s responses. Her combination of NVC and other approaches helps to get down to the core of your problems and promotes a better understanding of yourself and others. Highly recommended!”

“Pragmatic, effective, beyond what I expected.”

“This style of communication is like magic.”

“Powerful simple steps to really connect with another person.”
