Incompany trainings

From debate to dialogue. Tailored trainings that build psychological safety, stronger collaboration and more workplace satisfaction.

In-company NVC in brief

What is it?
A tailored nonviolent communication training for a single team or organisation, on location or online, delivered by a CNVC-certified trainer.
Who is it for?
Teams at municipalities, universities, public agencies, healthcare, education or business who are working on psychological safety, collaboration or more effective leadership.
How long?
A workshop lasts half a day (3–4 hours). A learning programme consists of 2–8 half-day sessions. A development programme spans multiple levels of the organisation.
What does it cost?
The investment depends on duration and format. Request a quote. You'll receive a tailored proposal within two business days.

Nonviolent communication is not soft or vague. It is clear and directly applicable. Even in the most difficult conversations.

I provide trainings and workshops based on Nonviolent Communication that match the development needs of your team. A workshop lasts half a day. A training varies between 2–8 half-day sessions, often with one or two weeks in between.

Each workshop or training is preceded by an intake conversation with the client, so I am well informed about what is going on in your team.

"In an in-company training I work with what is really alive in the team. Not with exercises disconnected from practice, but with situations people recognise from their own work."

Bart Landstra

What does it deliver for your team?

Nonviolent communication works. These are the concrete results:

  • More openness, trust and psychological safety in teams
  • From disagreement or conflict to workable solutions
  • More effective giving and receiving feedback
  • Clear decision-making and more effective meetings
  • Less stress, more workplace satisfaction and engagement
  • Stronger leadership: empathetic and decisive

How we work together

Every programme is tailor-made. These are the three basic formats, which we adapt together to your situation.

Introductory workshop

A half-day session (online or on location) to get acquainted with NVC and directly apply one theme. Ideal for team days or as a first introduction.

Learning programme

Two to eight half-day sessions, tailored to the learning needs of your team. Space to apply and deepen what you learn between sessions.

Development programme

An in-depth programme for teams that want to work structurally on communication, feedback culture or conflict management, at multiple levels in the organisation.

Inspirerende ervaring!

Door Bart's grote zorgvuldigheid met mensen, hun emoties en behoeften, weet hij met de methodiek van geweldloze communicatie een gevoel van veiligheid te creëren waarin dingen gezegd kunnen worden die anders ongezegd blijven.

Gery Groen - Directeur CiEP Training & coaching

Een echte aanrader!

Bart is een geweldige trainer. Met stille opmerkzaamheid begeleidt hij groepen richting verbindend communiceren. Hij is een ervaren en compassievolle trainer.

Lot Vegter - Sociaal ondernemer en trainer

Super!

Super was de kennismakingsworkshop. Bart schept een veilige, integere werksfeer met ruimte voor eigen inbreng waarbij de principes van verbindend communiceren direct worden toegepast.

In good company

I have given in-company trainings to teams at more than thirty organisations, from the European Space Agency ESA and De Nederlandsche Bank to TU Delft, Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch Police and ProRail. From municipalities and vocational colleges to childcare and international business.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between nonviolent communication and NVC?
Nonviolent communication and NVC are the same thing. NVC stands for Nonviolent Communication, the original English name of the method developed by Marshall Rosenberg. In Dutch it is also called 'verbindende communicatie' (connecting communication). On this website I use both terms.
Is an in-company training suitable when there is tension or conflict right now?
Especially then. Tense situations call for more connection, not less. A nonviolent communication training helps teams understand what lies beneath conflicts (needs that are not being seen) and to move forward together from there. In the intake conversation we discuss whether the timing is right.
Can the training be delivered online?
Yes. I deliver trainings both on location and online via Teams or Zoom. The exercises are fully adapted for virtual environments. I prefer not to do hybrid. It rarely works well for safety within the group.
How large can the group be?
I work most effectively with groups of 8 to 16 participants. Up to 20 is possible. Larger groups I prefer to split into parallel programmes.
Does the introductory call cost anything?
No. The introductory call lasts 15 minutes and is completely free and without obligation. If we decide together to explore a programme, a more extensive intake conversation follows, also at no extra cost.
How quickly can a programme start?
After a quote and agreement I can usually schedule a first session within two to four weeks. In busy periods (September–November) it is wise to book early.
Is the training reimbursed or subsidised?
In-company trainings are usually paid from the training budget. Some sector funds, such as A+O fonds Gemeenten or PFZW for the healthcare sector, partially reimburse communication trainings. It is worth checking this with your HR department.
