” I wanted to thank Aya for speaking to the Texas Partners in Policy Making class. I have to say I really can’t stop thinking about your training session with us. You really gave me new insights in how I can change my communication style for the better. I have also reflected a lot on some of the people in my life that I respect and feel safest in speaking vulnerably too. Those people have more of this nonviolent communication style. It is interesting to me without thinking about it that of course those are people that naturally feel safe to communicate with. Additionally, thank you for reminding us not to suddenly just take the communication and superior and start policing others speech. So easy to do when you learn something new and exciting. “
