Words that work in talk that matters

Talk Your Peace can help you learn how to use words that work in talks that matter in your personal life and in your organisation. We provide customised training, small group sessions and individual support and coaching based on Dr Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication.

TYP founder Marg Pontin is a consultant, educator and workshop leader, and is certified by the Center for Nonviolent Communication. Marg and her daughter/colleague Rachel help people minimise conflict in communication and maximise positive outcomes based on understanding the real needs of all parties.

People say:
“During the workshop, I identified an internal “contract” I had unconsciously made with myself, which was causing enormous physical, emotional, and even digestive stress. Now, I feel jubilant knowing I can meet my need for “ease” at home without falling back into that old, overwhelming pattern. Once I saw the pattern, I couldn’t unsee it—and the shift felt monumental, like I’d unlocked the next level in my personal growth.
Marg is an incredibly skilled facilitator, and I felt completely safe throughout the process. The group energy and shared experience were like a magical catalyst for transformation—I truly wasn’t expecting that!
If you’re on the fence about diving into NVC work, my advice is simple: give it a go. We all have feelings and needs, and learning how to express them effectively is liberating and empowering.”

“Thanks again for the wonder day-and-a-half of training you facilitated at our school. It was a rich and valuable experience on both a personal and professional level for the staff, which I hope will continue to inform our practice throughout this year and beyond.”
Angus, school principal, Victoria
