Non-violent communication in the workplace naturally helps you when communicating with your colleagues and clients, it teaches you how to be real and honest in a way that you are more likely to be heard, and how to listen with empathy & compassionate understanding. Non-violent communication can also be really helpful when having to advocate for yourself.
