Episode Notes
Key Points Discussed:
- The folks in Washington that were running the whole thing, they wanted those of us on the forefront to do peace differently, because they had said back in the 60s, when people were trying to make peace come about, they were kind of often out of integrity with the piece that they wanted to bring. (1:43)
- And a note, mind you, this had not even been 24 hours to receive that said, this is a high price to pay, you've seen nothing yet. (6:40)
- My daughter was a senior in high school and I had been trying to think about what I could do to give her a special gift, and all of her friends a special gift for their graduation, and it dawned on me, what I could do would be to teach them in NVC, if I could give them that before they got out into the world, it could be the greatest gift that I ever gave to them. (10:25)
- I think that's when I gained more interest in it and have slowly, I guess, over the last eight years, started implementing it more and more into my life, deeply listening, giving empathy and it's really strengthened my own sensibilities and skills, communication and how to communicate. (15:10)
