Govert van Ginkel has a knack for making things understandable and interesting.\u00a0<\/span>His workshops engaged us with a mix of presentation, participatory activities, and discussion that made concepts clear and useful while having fun.\u00a0<\/span>He has a way of bringing \u201crestorative practices\u201d to business settings that do not employ restorative jargon but effectively encourages those values and behaviors. \u2013\u00a0Ted<\/span>\u00a0Wachtel<\/span>\u00a0(Founder and former first president of the International Institute for Restorative Practices, IIRP)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have had the pleasure of attending two of Govert van Ginkel\u2019s workshops. \u00a0His warm and engaging style, and his clear knowledge of workplace processes and realities, stood out for me. \u00a0I learned a lot by watching him take an ordinary workplace scenario and dig down to show its deeply relational roots. \u00a0From there one can envision implementing restorative or relational approaches that can make a real difference in the culture and success of a workplace. \u00a0I know that I will learn more from Govert, and I recommend his work to anyone interested in the dynamics of workplace life\u2013and in improving them.\u201d \u00a0Mark Vander Vennen, MA, M.Ed, R.S.W, Executive Director, Shalem Mental Health Network, Canada<\/p>\n

I would like to thank you for the training provided and all your support and directions. It definitely helps me as a manager to be more resourceful to support and control situations at work. With all this knowledge I feel more confident when I have to deal with difficult situations at my workplace and in life in general.<\/p>\n

I put this approach into practice and I get incredible results. I see it helps to build trust and sense of connection with my team members and clients. I listen to customers and analyze their feelings and needs, before I take action to address the problem. This works in favour of creation of positive attitude and environment, builds friendly relationship between me and the customers.<\/p>\n

The content is very much focused on the participant\u2019s experiences and challenges. There was never a time where I felt rushed and there was always time for questions or comments. I call this participant-friendly! Ken Serl, Kamloops, BC, Canada<\/p>\n

I wanted to share feedback of my new found \u201cskills\u201d in NVC, (aka \u201cremembered awareness\u201d) which have allowed me to connect on a different level with others, and as a result, see new levels of sharing being opened up.\u00a0Specifically, I am using this feeling\/need based communication with my sister and the results are nothing short of miraculous.\u00a0I am seeing this form of communication as \u201csurfing\u201d or \u201chonoring the wave of energy one is riding\u201d vs just swimming in the ocean. I had a wonderful time in Calgary, the training with Govert was the highlight of my trip and the springboard of new connections in my life.\u00a0 I am grateful to you both for sharing your passions, (Debbie) Borden, CDMP Disability Case Manager, OH&S<\/p>\n

\u201cGovert\u2019s Compassionate Communication workshop helped me increase my ability to non-judgmentally observe myself and others, demonstrate empathy and seek to better understand others. Govert walks his talk while providing skills and empowering tools that can transform relationships and lives.\u201d Patricia Morgan, Counsellor, Author and Bounce Back Expert (www.lightheartedconcepts.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u201cLife is multi-faceted, we encounter such a diverse range of people and situations. Spending a day learning with you has definitely equipped me to\u00a0choose\u00a0to stay neutral in situations that in the past would have readily triggered a less than desirable response. The tools you\u2019ve shared are invaluable; I look forward to incorporating them into my day to day life. Thank you Govert for the gift of your\u00a0Compassionate Communication\u00a0training!\u201dCoraMarie Clarke BSDH MBA, Professional Speaker, Author and consultant www.toothenathetoothfairy.com<\/a><\/p>\n

My thanks for presenting the course Compassionate Communication Training. This is an excellent course to permit individuals to become aware of how the words we speak and the thoughts we think can influence any relationship in our lives. Your course permits a look at this dynamic of interpersonal communication and the\u00a0 effects\u00a0 it creates\u00a0 on our lives. It appears you have embraced this technology and are using it constantly.\u00a0The change we seek starts with the self and congratulations on your willingness to embrace this improved way of communicating. The world is better because of it. Gregory Boyle, Sales Rep., Calgary, Canada<\/p>\n
