SUMMATIVE EVALUATION OF A WORKSHOP IN COLLABORATIVE
COMMUNICATION
BY Jane Branscomb
A Collaborative Communication workshop was evaluated for effectiveness in furthering targeted skills, intentions, behaviors and outcomes. Based on Nonviolent Communicationsm (NVC), the workshop seeks to enhance wellbeing by fostering intra- and interpersonal relationships of compassion, connection, collaboration and caring. Evidence indicates that success could also help reduce the burden of depression, suicide, violence, and other concerns.
A repeated measures evaluation addressed: 1) Are participants better able to recognize key distinctions: observations versus evaluations; feelings versus thoughts; needs versus strategies; requests versus demands? 2) Do participants express greater likelihood of applying the tools and principles of NVC; pursuing support for their ongoing practice; seeking additional NVC learning; telling others about NVC tools and principles; teaching NVC? 3) Do participants take action to apply the tools and principles of NVC; to pursue support for their ongoing practice; to pursue additional NVC learning; to tell others about NVC tools and principles? 4) Do participants and their relationships exhibit greater compassion, connection, collaboration and caring?
Seven workshops produced a sample of 108 adults. Clear gains
were seen in skills, behavioral intentions and action-taking. A
majority of participants were more often showing appreciation and
concern for others and expressing themselves without criticism,
blame or pressure. By six weeks, ten
percent of those who had not engaged previously in formal practice
support had done so; 50 percent of participants had engaged in
either formal or informal support; and 57 percent had pursued
further NVC learning. Those who undertook follow-up activity showed
broader gains than those who did not. Changes in outcome attributes
were barely detectable, if at all. Recommendations are made
regarding target audiences, marketing, course emphasis and further
study.
