The trainer was very knowledgeable and very kind. She has a perfect grasp of her subject. We learnt in a fun way, which helped us to understand and apply the material better. The group was extremely friendly, although we didn’t all have the same reasons for being there, which can lead to differences in enthusiasm for learning the method and in the level of commitment throughout the course.

A very good training course, led by a trainer who knows the subject inside out. The discussions, role-plays and tools used made for a dynamic training session. It should be offered to as many people as possible, whether they are executives or not, managers or non-managers. Thank you for this training course.

The materials provided are not the same as those used by the trainer. So, at times, you have to take screenshots if you want to keep a record of anything that interests you. The trainer was quite engaging at the start, but things petered out afterwards. Was he disheartened by the fact that some people were doing this course because they had to, rather than by choice? In any case, the pace was slower on the second day. Some of the exercises were complicated, and in reality

CNV is a very interesting topic. The content and the trainer’s teaching methods were excellent; however, it was sometimes difficult to concentrate, as the training rooms in the building are poorly soundproofed and very noisy. It’s a shame. I would recommend this course, but not the venue.

I enjoyed the topic covered. The trainer was very knowledgeable and made sure all participants were involved. I found it difficult to follow the flow of the training session. This was no doubt down to the format used and the technical issues we encountered (no screen sharing, problems joining the virtual rooms, etc.). A major highlight: the role-play exercises based on real-life scenarios. Eight trainees is quite a lot for this format. I’m taking away from this the [quo

I’m a bit disappointed with this training course, despite the infectious enthusiasm of the trainer and the other participants. I didn’t think the course would focus so much on self-reflection and our feelings and emotions. I would have liked more theory, tools and tips, with role-plays based on specific situations. I found it difficult to come up with any specific examples from my own experience that I felt comfortable sharing.

I found the content of this training course very interesting and very useful for day-to-day life. I did feel that there weren’t enough practical exercises, and I sometimes noticed a certain ‘idealism’ in the approach to the very real professional difficulties we face. It was as though NVC couldn’t quite be applied in this context, which is not something I personally believe.

Nathalie is an experienced trainer who, with her enthusiasm and constant energy throughout the two days, succeeded in introducing me to the fundamentals of Non-Violent Communication. The various practical exercises, as well as the conceptual explanations presented in the form of diagrams and illustrations, all served as effective ways of conveying the intended information.
