How do you say something difficult at work without damaging trust? And is it even possible to be kind and clear when the stakes are high?

In this insightful episode of Confident HR Conversations, I sat down with communication expert and NVC trainer Hana Svabikova to explore how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) can radically transform the way HR professionals, managers, and teams connect, collaborate, and handle conflict in the workplace.

If you've ever struggled with delivering tough feedback, navigating workplace tension, or managing team dynamics, this episode is your guide to applying NVC principles in practical, real-world business settings.

Listen in and explore a more human way to lead, give feedback, and connect at work.
