Welcome to
Communication Dojo

CONNECTION through KINDNESS & AUTHENTICITY

It's really possible to experience Connected Communication with others through a blend of authenticity and kindness. To listen with empathy, to be honest about what's going on for you, and to find ways of communicating and interacting that enrich your lives.

And it's possible to do this in a way that strengthens your relationships, leading from tension and conflict to understanding and connection.

We'll show you how.

Newt Bailey

Founder of Communication Dojo

My passion is to help people connect, experience greater intimacy, and find the potential for mutually satisfying change that lies within conflict. I am convinced that the changes we want to see in our lives, our communities and our world begin with changes in how we think and communicate.

In my work, I share the essential core of NVC and teach the principles of NVC in a way that frees students from specialized language. My approach allows "connected communication" to grow in small, quickly assimilated steps.

Since 2007 I have been leading workshops and retreats, coaching individuals and groups, and mediating conflict in both public and organizational settings.

Communication Dojo

At Communication Dojo, I share the NVC / Connected Communication practices, skills and awareness I use in my own life.

I lead workshops in San Francisco and online.
