From Conflict to Connection

• This is a live online conversation with audience Q&A. Registration includes livestream access and ad-free replay.
• Books are available to add to your order at checkout.

Conflict is a natural and inevitable part of life, whether you are setting a boundary with a friend, confronting a roommate about dirty dishes, or having a serious disagreement with a partner, coworker, or family member. With the right tools, you can use conflict as an opportunity to authentically express your needs, listen deeply, and even strengthen your relationships.

Join Nonviolent Communication coach and host of the popular podcast The Art of NVC, Micah Salaberrios for an empowering conversation exploring how to communicate clearly and productively when conflict arises. Drawing from over a decade working in Nonviolent Communication and his latest book, From Conflict to Connection, Micah shares a 4-step process to help guide difficult conversations and everyday tools that you can start using right away. His approach encourages you to acknowledge, accept and honor your emotions and to communicate with facts, feelings, needs, and requests, rather than evaluations, judgements, analysis, or accusations.

Micah invites us to break out of cycles of miscommunication, hurt feelings, and unresolved conflict by learning to approach conflicts with authenticity and compassion using the principles of Nonviolent Communication.

Micah Salaberrios is the author of the acclaimed book The Art of NVC and host of the popular Art of NVC podcast. With more than a decade of experience teaching Nonviolent Communication to people around the world, Micah is known for making deep, transformative principles both practical and accessible. He’s also a seasoned musician and video editor, driven by a passion for helping humanity communicate with more clarity, empathy, and authenticity.
