ACE believes in the power of dialog to solve our most complex social problems, but this can only come about through developing the ability to hear deeply our own needs as well as the needs of others. Only then can we understand each other and exercise our innate ability to empathize and connect as human beings – not adversaries – to solve our problems.

Using the Non-Violent Communication techniques identified by Marshall Rosenberg, ACE will craft learning events to help clients develop skills to identify their own unmet needs and the needs of people whose perspectives, ideas, and actions differ from their own.
