Needs vs. Strategies, NVC Message Example

Slide Content

The slide contrasts "Needs" and "Strategies" within Nonviolent Communication (NVC). Needs represent universal motivations promoting collaboration. Core motivations stem from emotions, tied to well-being, exemplified by the phrase "I need peace." Strategies are specific actions that can cause conflict due to cultural influences—exemplified by "I want a quiet space."

Graphical Look

• The slide is divided into two sections with a light gray and blue background.
• The left side labeled "Needs" includes a head icon in a blue square.
• A checkmark icon is placed centrally within dotted lines to denote universal motivations.
• A speech bubble in blue contains an example statement.
• The right side labeled "Strategies" has an exclamation mark icon within dotted lines.
• A dark speech bubble contains a statement illustrating specific actions.

The overall look is clean and structured, using distinct sections and icons to clearly differentiate between the concepts of Needs and Strategies.
