*******WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING***********

“I LOVE Meganwind. I enjoy working with her, watching her; I loved her in the role play a couple meetings ago (the dishes one with Sam) because I sensed that her way of expressing embodied a possibility for how NVC can show up/be utilized in a way that’s totally & effectively shifted the angry tenor of the conversation. It was really great to see this example & I’d welcome more like that. I really enjoy her small groups too.”

-CV, BayNVC’s Immersion Program

“Today’s call with Meganwind Eoyang was extraordinary! I’m relating my experience here and I own all my judgements! The word that comes to me to describe my experience on the call is “charm”. I felt such lightness and caring, evidenced through Meganwind’s challenging questions to participants and the way I felt her hold the interactions with such tenderness. I was going to say “breath-taking”, but it was much more like breath-sharing…and the practice she offered that she led us through right on the call was something I can take away and use.”

-Mair Alight

“I’ve attended several of Mary’s workshops and look forward to more. She creates a environment for learning that’s inclusive and supportive and – most of all – fun! Even when covering difficult topics, she naturally and intuitively helps people open up. That engagement makes for a powerful learning experience. Highly recommended!”

-Earl J. Wagner, Software Engineer, Google

Ms. Goyer ensures that everyone feels comfortable within the group and encourages participation in a very authentic way. During her training sessions, she exudes ease and continuity in regards to content and delivery. She is excellent in acknowledging the varying perspectives and ways of communicating, making her very relate-able to different viewpoints.”

-Nikki Markman, USF Law School, Clinics Administrator
