Where it all began:
Deb and I attended a four-day Mediation Training six years ago when Ike Lasater was in Auckland.

This programme was amazing and we received many benefits and learning. What we discovered was not only did out mediation skills increase, so did our ability to give empathy and how to give empathy to people who have no idea what NVC is and even to those who are not to keen on NVC.

We have been using this model in our couples work and with others who come to us with conflict for the past five years. Combining this training with our combined 18 years of NVC experience, we have found this Mediation Process very effective and life changing.

Manfred’s bio
Manfred is known as a passionate advocate for Agile Methodologies and has worked on large scalable systems for nearly 20 years. As a specialist in real-time trading systems, his roles have included project management of mission critical projects and the introduction of Agile Principles for Europe’s leading financial institutions.
While Agile Principle became mainstream, Manfred was left with the question why those principals got only applied for teams at the bottom of organizations while the rest of the organization would not implement collaborative methods. In 2004 Manfred set out to find a governance model for a better way to lead organizations. He founded several companies as a playground for new leadership models. In 2012 one of his projects got acknowledged as a finalist for The Best Workplace in New Zealand.
Today Manfred’s focus is leadership development, he provides training and coaches the implementation of Holacracy (aka Dynamic Governance, Sociocracy). Furthermore, he offers workshops in mediation and personal self development.
His vision: highly utilised people and collaboration, equivalence while enhancing individual and group effectiveness, help people to truly enjoy ‘Their’ workplaces, leading to excellent and economic viable organizations.

NVC Mediation Training
NVC Mediation training is like a Next Step Programme in NVC. It teaches us how to stay connected when the going gets tough, how to support friends, colleges and family members when there is conflict, how to give effective empathy anywhere and puts us in touch with a supportive community where we can further practice and share experiences and learn. This is a very clear and structured pathway that allows people to really embrace, understand and effectively use the NVC Model.

Free Giveaways and Goodies
If you enroll in this workshop, you will receive:
1. A copy of Ike Lasater’s book “Words that work in Business”. This is not only a remarkable business book, it is a very useful guide for using NVC everyday with ways to practice and how to use NVC in environments where it can be tricky and not everyone is open to the idea of talking feelings and needs.
2. The “Mediate your life training manual 5th edition.” This is the manual that John Kinyon and Ike Lasater hand out in their trainings. This manual covers everything they cover over the four different workshops they deliver.
