COMMUNICATION COACHING"Steve... many thanks for helping us get on the right track... it feels so good so be communicating honestly and easily without the judgments. I can't imagine how those things could have been expressed without our sessions. But also what I want to say is it was so great how we were able to express years worth of built-up family issues, and even some that spanned generations...and we now talk about this way of communicating and are working it into practice, so thank you so much for being available to help us with this!" -- Ashley, Ft. Lauderdale, FL "I have worked with Steve Pollack for a number of years. I continue to be enriched, cherished and assisted in my personal growth by practicing NVC under his leadership. Steve is an empathic and caring facilitator who creates and maintains a safe container for rigorous and honest practice. To anyone interested in learning NVC, confronting personal crisis, or facilitating personal growth, I recommend him to you most highly. -- Stephanie King, NVC practitioner 2000 Florida Teacher of the Year "As I read through all that Steve has written ... I think of how I see him as the facilitator of our regular NVC meetings. I see a man who represents what I believe he would like to help others achieve in their own lives. Among other qualities, he is relaxed, comfortable, knowledgeable, skilled, focused, helpful and "in the moment," regardless of what else he may have going on in his life. Communication is the key."  |
