About

Blog about my experiences as I use a language of the heart. "Compassionate Connecting" describes my intention to facilitate communication and contribute to deepening relationships between people, within groups and organizations through the practice of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) james.prieto@compassionateconnecting.com

What is Nonviolent Communication (NVC)?
NVC invites language awareness based on work by Marshall Rosenberg that is sometimes called compassionate communication. Its purpose is to strengthen our ability to inspire compassion in others and to respond compassionately to others and to ourselves. NVC guides us to reframe how we express ourselves and hear others by focusing on what we are observing, feeling, needing and requesting (OFNR).

Book Reviews

 Irene Roth: "...is a motivating and inspiring book that is written tenderly but seriously. Prieto offers an innovative and completely fresh look at some of the most important teachings of Christ that are life-serving and nonjudgmental...I believe that Prieto’s book may even save a few marriages, and given the high incidence of divorce, this book is a great contribution."

Dad-of-Divas: "...I have to say that the book is a great combination of practical wisdom from Scripture and many other fields.  What I liked was that the book went deep and asked questions to make you think deeper..."

Kirkus Reviews"...the inspired efforts of a Christian helped by NVC who wants to share his experience with the world and help people better their lives... More meditation than guidebook, Prieto’s work is compelling, motivating and useful..."
