Lesson 3 Communication Assignment

Read each case scenario below, and generate a response using NVC format to each scenario.

Case Scenario 1:

You are the Chief Sustainability Officer for a medium-sized corporation. The company president has rejected your last four sustainability proposals due to either cost concerns or fears that change will upset people. She calls you in for a meeting to ask you why you’re not producing results, and why you have failed to change the company’s sustainability profile in the past year.

Using an NVC format, how might you respond?

Case Scenario 2:

You are the owner of a farm-to-table restaurant. One of your staff members has been inconsistent in watering the restaurant garden and managing pests. You call them in for a meeting to discuss their job performance.

Using an NVC format, what might you say?
