4 Steps of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) Fostering Empathy, Connection, and Understanding
The 4 Steps of NVC 1. Observation Describe what you observe without judgment. Example: “When I see the dishes left in the sink...” 2. Feelings Express how the observation makes you feel. Example: “…I feel overwhelmed.” 3. Needs Identify the need behind your feeling. Example: “I need support in keeping the house clean.” 4. Request Make a clear and specific request. Example: “Would you be willing to help me clean the dishes after dinner?”
