Join our Empathy Gym to be able to learn, practice, and level-up your empathy and expression skills with others like you.
Don’t presume you have mastered NVC concepts because they sound familiar or you have interacted with them in the past.
Becoming fluent with NVC concepts requires consistent practice and real-world application.
Investing in structured practice with any new thought or language pattern is the only way new behaviors will occur, especially when conflict is involved.
The Empathy Gym (EG) is a place where individuals come to build their ability and capacity to effectively use NVC concepts by doing reps, just like in a real gym.
You need reps to train your brain to instinctively communicate (with yourself and others) in everyday situations.
We often believe that when we intellectually understand a concept, we have mastered it and can use it whenever we need. But the reality is that when faced with a challenging situation or difficult conflict, we completely forget these principles, no matter how thorough our comprehension.
It is only through consistent repetition and application of new concepts that they are able to sink in deeply, beyond the surface level of the intellect. For NVC concepts to become our default communication style, we must be consistent and intentional in our practice.
The Empathy Gym is available to people who are signed up in the Intro Course or who have completed it.
Learn more about how the Intro Course will help you communicate more effectively and authentically with NVC principles.
If you have already completed the Intro Course and want to continue in the Empathy Gym, sign up below to get started.
First and foremost, it’s for anyone that is enrolled or who has completed our Intro Training who wants to level up their empathy, connection, and communication skills. You’ll continue to learn but go deeper into topics, go deeper into NVC and continuously practice giving and receiving empathy and expression.
It’s also great for:
1. Advocacy Workers and RJ Practitioners looking to bring Nonviolent Communication into your community and help folks hear one another and connect.
2. School Administrators and Business Executives looking to decrease days lost related to instruction and production and who want to super charge your team and have a more connected, lighter workplace culture.
3. Aspiring Teachers, Trainers, and Coaches who are looking for a career with a greater sense of fulfillment and impact and want to make a career out of teaching the Bigbie Method.
We currently have one Empathy Gym session running on Mondays at 2:00pm EST.
We’ll start with a connected check-in and then we’ll move into celebrations and mournings. If there is a learning piece to the session, whether its a live example, review or theory, we will go over that and then we will break into dyads to give and receive empathy with a certain focus for that session. Then we’ll come back together, review, and, finally, work on a “live” situation with at least one participant.
We’ve structured the sessions with deliberate practice in mind so that your needs for growth, learning, and connection can all be fulfilled.
We’d love to hear it. Email us at support@thebigbiemethod.com
