Dr. Rosenberg first used the NVC process in federally funded school
integration projects to provide mediation and communication skills
training during the 1960s. The Center for Nonviolent Communication,
which he founded in 1984, now has hundreds of certified NVC
trainers and supporters teaching NVC in more than sixty countries
around the globe. A sought-after presenter, peacemaker and
visionary leader, Dr. Rosenberg led NVC workshops and international
intensive trainings for tens of thousands of people in over 60
countries across the world and provided training and initiated
peace programs in many war-torn areas including Nigeria, Sierra
Leone, and the Middle East.
He worked tirelessly with educators, managers, health care
providers, lawyers, military officers, prisoners, police and prison
officials, government officials, and individual families. With
guitar and puppets in hand and a spiritual energy that filled a
room, Marshall showed us how to create a more peaceful and
satisfying world.
