„When I met Marshall in 1998, I decided to take every opportunity to study with him and share NVC with others. I have the great fortune of having spent more than 100 days learning with Marshall. I found NVC to be the missing link in my work as a family therapist, and in my personal development and spiritual growth. I feel honored to serve our international community on CNVC’s Board. I trust that together we can create amazing movements that none of us can do alone and that we can organize ourselves for more impact in how we work towards the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible. My interest in leadership & organizational structures led me to attend several CNVC board meetings as an observer, starting in 2002 in Hungary where organizing CNVC with circles was talked about for the first time. My main project has been creating the association LIVKOM, which serves as the foundation for NVC work in Denmark and abroad. LIVKOM (Life-Enriching Communication) has supported many projects including winning funding for 10 projects since 2009 and involved NVC trainers to deliver them. LIVKOM has since 2014 supported the creation of Dignity Space, an NGO in Ukraine, that has created a Peace Engineer School in Kiev. In 2006, I created my own publishing house when the big publishers were not willing to bring out more of Marshall’s books in Danish. I have brought 9 titles to the Danish audience. Over the years, I have shared NVC in many countries from North to South, West to East, including Healing and Reconciliation with NVC in Nepal in 2014 and 2016, a project I found very meaningful. I am ready to do playful work and have serious fun with NVC across the world.“
