What others are saying about Alan Seid and CTM's Workshops:
|
| "Finally I got
it down! Alan has been instrumental in helping me retrain my perception
and communication away from what had become self-destructive thought
patterns and practices, most especially with my wife. In his 24-hour
course and in couples coaching, he has helped us save our own marriage
from resentment, anger, and regular communication disconnection". - Jason Darling, Re-Sources for Sustainable Communities, Fall 2008 NVC Series Participant
|
| "Alan is stellar at what he does!" - Rick Dubrow, local business leader and sustainability advocate
|
| "The interpersonal dynamics of our store were
transformed by the NVC workshop that Alan led. The result is that our
workplace culture is more harmonious and positive than ever before." - Stephen Trinkaus, Owner & General Manager, Terra Organica
|
| "When I debriefed the staff at my retirement, to a
person they strongly indicated that the Empowered Communication (NVC)
training was the most useful, both professionally and personally, of
anything we had done during their time there. It was clear after the
first training that there was a real positive shift in how people in
the office interacted. I highly recommend Alan’s NVC trainings in an
office setting." - Tom Anderson, General Manager, retired Public Utility District #1 of Whatcom County
|
| "I have very high regard for Alan. My opinion is that he
knows his stuff backwards and forwards, is creative in synthesizing
understandings, and lives with ENORMOUS integrity. I find him to be
very inspiring - and am encouraged that he represents the best of the
next generation." - Lucy Leu, CNVC Certified Trainer, Former President of the Board, Center for Nonviolent Communication, Author, Nonviolent Communication Companion Workbook: A Practical Guide for Individual, Group or Classroom Study
|
| "Alan, I was glad to have found the time (even at
the last minute) to sit down and have a conversation with you about
your work. You obviously love your work, and that love infuses what you
do. In my experience, this is true for all great teachers and
unsubstitutable." - Laird Schaub, Facilitator and Facilitation Trainer; Executive Secretary, Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC)

"We
have had other facilitators in the past and Alan is the first facilitator
who combined so many depths of disciplines... each student was profoundly
altered by their experience. Many
of them had breakthroughs in their communication with their friends and
family in only 2 days of workshops.
Alan's timing, innate ability to
disseminate the NVC model was the clearest and deepest I have ever
experienced. We progressed further into
this work than ever before. He truly
embodies NVC principles and lives them in his every day life. He is a master at what he does and his
ability to mediate and resolve conflict is phenomenal.
I highly recommend Alan to any
group… I have been personally impacted, and the insights and breakthroughs in my
own life keep unfolding."
- Myra Murphy Jacob Founder and National Executive Director Sustainable Global Leadership Alliance www.sgla.org

| "The
structures of our thinking and our language are rooted in a power-over
world view. Nonviolent Communication gives tools and practices to help
us reframe our communication within a win-win, power-with worldview. It
goes way beyond resolving conflicts. Alan presents this work with great
skill, fun and compassion." - Angela MacLeod, CTM Workshops Co-Producer, NVC Learning Series Participant Fall 2007 and 2008

| "Alan’s NVC workshop takes communication skills to a whole new level!" Carl Oekerman, Instructor of Interpersonal and Organizational Psychology, Bellingham Technical College,
Fall 2008 NVC Series Participant
