Maraton Empatii: Intro to empathic listening

Maraton Empatii: Intro to empathic listening.

Do you want to improve your listening skills and understand other people more easily?

Or maybe you miss being heard and would love to make contact with people who share similar values as you, such as honesty, empathy, connection and openness?

Listening to other people, focusing on their feelings and their story might be sometimes overwhelming. Our first reaction is to help them to be happy again and to solve all their problems as fast as possible. Unfortunately, it is not what they expect. They want your attention, your presence and empathy. Time for finding solutions will come later…

So, what is empathy and how to listen to others with empathy?

Take part in this introductory workshop and learn basic tools that you can use immediately to strengthen contact with people you care about.

What will you gain if you attend this workshop?

About the trainer:

Magdalena Malinowska – life-coach and trainer. I support people in creating satisfying relationships with others and with themselves through coaching and trainings in empathic communication (NVC).
My work is based on Nonviolent Communication (NVC) created by Marshall B. Rosenberg, non-formal learning methods and on Coaching for Transformation approach.

I founded Empathic Way (www.empathicway.pl), through which I promote Nonviolent Communication approach and teach honest and clear self-expression and listening to others with respect and empathy. I run the Warsaw Empathy Group, I offer group workshops and individual trainings, I am the author of the online course “Four steps to a better relationship with others and myself”.

I got to know Nonviolent Communication in 2010. I delivered workshops for the Nobody’s Children Foundation, participants of the Festival PROGRESSteron, students of the Maria Grzegorzewska University and open groups of participants. I have almost ten years experience in the non-formal education and in the cooperation with NGOs. Apart from Nonviolent Communication I am passionate about playing drums (African djembe and Brazilian surdo), board games and meeting people from other countries.
