I had the distinct honor of offering a day long event in Kyiv, Ukraine with my colleague Kateryna Yasko on September 24, 2024 for NVC practitioners. Here is a short video with our feedback at the end of day: https://youtu.be/DtIdo8hH8z4

The whole experience - coming upon NVC and MR [Marshall Rosenberg] videos, driving to Virginia, meeting you and the community, experiencing your session in person, talking afterwards - was a highlight in my 2024. I feel like a slightly better person because of it all.  — Yulia P

The training felt transformative to me -- from the opening moment’s comparison of open versus clinching. I felt it was presented very clearly. You brought your whole self to us, sharing your own stories and your passion, which made it real to me. — LP

Excellent presentation of complex ideas. Especially appreciated the concrete examples, dramatizations, descriptions. Feel I have a very clear idea of the subject now. Felt very comfortable. Open atmosphere, everyone included, questions welcome. — AM

Totally satisfied, exceeded my expectations. I observed the presenter to be open, authentic, and passionate about the topic and willing to demonstrate vulnerability. The material presented was organized wonderfully in manageable chunks, easily understood, with many strong examples provided. The materials provided at the end were well timed and just what I wanted. I appreciated each effort to engage the participants. Participation was high, as a result. Totally comfortable and connected, to the group, the material and the presenter. She responded brilliantly to questions raised and gently redirected us back on track as needed. My favorite “powerpoint” ever. Thank you for your visuals and your humor. — Linda S.

Satisfied and beyond. Couldn’t have been better. Facilitator was very well prepared and content was incredibly meaningful. I was entirely comfortable; Julie’s demanor made this even more possible: very genuine and natural. — MC

Julie was really, really skilled. I felt very very comfortable and connected. [Julie] consistently modeled personal honesty and vulnerability. — RJ

Julie is really well-prepared and is very clear in communicating her messages. Julie is also very relatable and authentic. — workshop participant

I was uncomfortable, disconnected, confused even lost during much of the presentation. I need a simple statement of what this presentation is about and an outline of how that will be accomplished. For me, and my way of learning, it was way too disjointed, even though I was desperate to learn. Thank you for trying. Some ideas did get through! — workshop participant

It’s weird – I was not feeling well at start (sprained my knee last week), but by end, felt so much more un-constricted. — workshop participant

Very focused, Julie held my attention. Her presentation style is wonderfully lively and engaging. — workshop participant
