Rodger Sorrow

Rodger Sorrow stands as a pivotal figure in the field of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), accredited as a Certified Trainer and Assessor with The Center for Nonviolent Communication since 2001, and one of the original Conference founders back when it first started as an in-person event in 2006.

His journey with NVC has been transformative, enabling him to express what is going on for him without criticism of others so he can communicate authentically and empathetically, fostering accountability, and enabling deeper connections to develop. 

Renowned for infusing humor and playfulness into education, Rodger's unique approach to learning, coupled with his compassion and commitment to personal growth, make him an ideal host for the conference for the 19th year running. His efforts to integrate NVC into various sectors, including education, rehabilitation, and community services, along with his availability for personalized coaching, highlight his dedication to spreading the tenets of NVC and ensuring its practical application in everyday life.
