To care for anyone else enough
to make their problems one's own,
is ever the beginning of one's
real ethical development.

Thom Bond: A Path of Compassion Through Needs Awareness

Posted on 13 Mar 2022

Thom showed how Needs Awareness functions as a beacon for humans to live a constructive and ethical life. He shared how this awareness offers profound value in conflict resolution and the ability to engage in constructive disagreements.

Founder and Director of Education NYCNVC
Thom brings 35 years of human potential study and training experience to his work as a writer, speaker and workshop leader. His passion and knowledge of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) combine to create a practical, understandable, humorous, and potentially profound approach for learning and integrating skills that help us experience more compassion and understanding. He is described as concise, inspiring, sincere and optimistic, applying transformational and spiritual perspectives to real-life situations. Many of his students become active facilitators, trainers, and practitioners.
Over the past fifteen years as a disciple of Marshall Rosenberg, Thom’s work has touched hundreds of thousands of clients, participants, readers, and listeners throughout the world. He has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Vogue Magazine, and Yoga Magazine.
Thom is a founder and the Director of Education for NYCNVC, The New York Center for Nonviolent Communication (a United Nations Civil Society Organization), author of The Compassion Book, the founder of The Compassion Project, and a member of the Advisory Board for the Communications Coordination Committee for the United Nations (CCCUN). He is the author of “Shifting Toward Compassion” (theexercise.org), and “64 Days for Peace” an open source, online, self-led small-group curriculum.
He is best known as the creator and leader of The Compassion Course, a comprehensive online training, based on the work of Marshall Rosenberg, Werner Erhard, and Albert Ellis. In ten years, the course has hosted over 25,000 participants. It continues to grow in numbers and global reach, with a current roster of over 6,000 participants from over 115 countries in 15 languages.
