Meet the Trainers: Yoojin Lee
I have been actively learning and practicing Nonviolent Communication on a personal basis for 19 years, have participated in trainings with Dr. Rosenberg, and facilitate a weekly NVC practice group. As an independent consultant for leadership and social change, I have been training, facilitating and supporting young people and adults on a range of topics for over 20 years. Formerly, I was a Senior Trainer & Manager at Health Resources in Action and the Lead Organizer at the Boston-area Youth Organizing Project. My enthusiasm for NVC comes from experiencing its transformative effects on my relationships at work, in my family, and with myself.
Steve Tumolo
Nonviolent Communication has profoundly impacted my relationships, work, and sense of meaning and purpose in life. I am eager to share this life-changing practice. I am certified by the Center for Nonviolent Communication as a Compassionate Communication trainer. I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, an accredited T’ai Chi Chih instructor, and hold a PhD in Leadership Studies from Gonzaga University. I’ve had the gift of learning directly from Marshall Rosenberg and Robert Gonzales. I serve as the Chief Encouragement Officer with the nonprofit Heart-to-Heart and, with my spouse Julene, co-lead Everyday Peacemaking, through which we help organizations and organizational leaders grow their capacities for relational leadership and conflict transformation.
