Kaz T.Anderson, Communication Trainer (B.A. Mgt. Comm), Melbourne Australia
Explore the inherited power dynamics of Power Over and Power Under and a path and practice for transformation beyond those limitations.
A practical, repeatable way of connecting your NVC practice with your longings for Social Change.
- Self-checking for relational honesty
A model for checking what’s alive for you with more awareness of inherited power over and power under thinking. - Equitable Power Sharing
Explorations of power explicit communication (naming explicit and implicit roles, power ‘impacts’ and power dynamics). Replace covert power dynamics that can undermine all your NVC work with opportunities for connection that are also ‘power-honest’. - Relational Integrity
Prioritise “relating with” over “doing empathy” Presence first with language that supports connection. - Companionship Practices for Mutual Wellbeing
Practicing self-awareness in transforming power-over and power-under thinking with more Gratitude, Generosity, Compassion, Dignity to cultivate the “social soil” that makes brave honesty in power dynamics more possible, through speaking directly the power roles.
Outcomes You Can Expect
- Authentic expression of power dynamics in non-confrontational ways
- Clearer boundaries & faster repairs (fewer pile-ups of power ‘injuries’)
- Personal sovereignty without isolation; mutual wellbeing without self-abandonment
Why This Works
With the Dynamic Relating power processes, skills compound for real change in your relational capacities; where your inherited personality traits (power under/power over) + knowledge of NVC might struggle to create the connection you’d really value.
