Godfrey has developed a passion for self-empathy as springboard to empathy for others and the development of quality relationships in the service of increased productivity. started his career as a linguist and laboured under the illusion that communication was all about sequences of semantic fields. A ten-year stint manning the IBM Europe International Effective Communication programme tended to confirm this! later did two NLP masters, one in the US and the other in France. Still hungry for something more, he was advised by one of his university students to meet Marshall Rosenberg. meeting changed his life. the first time, he experienced the power of compassion, both for himself and for others. He trains, mediates and coaches in English and French, basing his whole approach on NVC. clients range from couples to individual professionals, from major international institutions, such as the European Commission, to large banks, from local corporations to government institutions.
I love to help to build harmonious relations, with oneself and others, in the authenticity and the respect of each one. I specialise in conflict resolution, organising team meetings and circle talks based on the model of sociocracy. I work with individuals, schools, non-governmental organisations and businesses, teaching at Collegium Civitas, a private university in Warsaw, as part of postgraduate studies in Nonviolent Communication.
Attentive to freedom and the spirit of responsibility, I’m particularly interested in cooperation with democratic schools and companies that develop new management styles (teal organisations). My strong point is my passion for learning. I’m constantly expanding my knowledge, currently developing skills by combining CNV and conscious body-work.
I lived in France for seven years, where I studied and worked. For 18 years, I’ve been living in a bi-cultural and bilingual family whose diversity and challenges give me a lot of joy and contribute to reflection. I have written two books (in Polish) on proximity parenting. I work in three languages: Polish, French and English.

www.peacefactory.fr My current passion revolves around four life themes:
without having to do anything for it, to be welcome;
to have a space in which I can also stand up;
instead of having to control, to be held in trust; and
instead of fulfilling others dreams, be alive.
My passion is to experiment with NVC outside the box, far away from the boundaries of words and language. I like to concentrate on intuition, empathic presence and body language.
My social change project “giraffe’s dream” aims at introducing and spreading NVC in kindergartens, preschools and primary schools. This program has become the biggest social change project in this field.
I am a CNVC certified trainer and assessor in the certification process of the CNVC. My current passion revolves around the 4 life themes: To be welcome – without having to do anything for it, to have a space for which I can also stand up, to be held in trust instead of having to control and be alive instead of fulfilling others dreams.
I live with Gundi, my wife, near Munich, Germany.
