Needs-centered life design and
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
with Hermann Edtmayer.
I support individuals and teams with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and needs-centered life design to find inner clarity and act in connection. In one-to-one training, seminars and nature trainings we develop practical strategies for fewer conflicts, more togetherness and real life value. Mainly in Salzburg and Upper Austria (Salzkammergut, Mondseeland) as well as online and across Austria. In German and English.

Your life is working out and you get through challenging times as well – and at the same time you somehow feel dissatisfied or empty?
Despite giving your best – at work and in your private life.
You are repeatedly troubled by problems such as:
You have the impression that you constantly come up short? You long for more joy of life?
My approach:
Strengthen your “soft” skills in a targeted way.
Soft skills are a key success factor for your life!
Properly strengthened, they bring energy, motivation and joy of life – simply much more
real life value.
Like a natural spiral, we move from the stormy outer orbits of everyday life
step by step towards our inner core – our real needs.
With the approach of needs-centered life design
and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) we find
clarity within – and connection without.

I accompany people with joy and empathy in all areas of life – private and professional.

In confidential 1-to-1 sessions I support you with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and needs-centered life design to find inner clarity, understand old patterns and take new, fitting steps in everyday life. I help translate feelings into needs, develop concrete options and train an inner attitude that creates connection – in partnership, family, community or work. We choose the setting according to your needs: in person on site (Salzburg, Upper Austria – Salzkammergut, Mondseeland) or online. You receive impulses, exercises and reflection – appreciative, structured and effective.
Goal: fewer conflicts, more self-efficacy and real quality of life.

Hands-on seminars and workshops for teams, organizations and private groups: with NVC and needs-centered life design we strengthen a respectful communication culture, prevent conflicts and facilitate collaboration.
Example topics: appreciative feedback, having difficult conversations, conflict resolution, recognizing needs, setting boundaries clearly, being able to hear or say a no, finding joint solutions.
Methods: solid theoretical input, varied and practical exercises, role plays and reflection on real cases. Formats from half-day to multi-part – in-house or at suitable seminar locations, mainly in Salzburg and Upper Austria (Salzkammergut, Mondseeland) and across Austria.
Result: sustainable conflict competence, clarity, understanding, cooperation, efficient processes – and a team climate where performance and humanity fit together.

Nature opens spaces for calm, focus and real encounter. In nature training I combine NVC attitude and needs-centered life design with mindful outdoor awareness: walking, pausing, sensing, speaking. We clarify what truly matters to you and translate insights into next steps for your everyday life. Suitable for individuals and groups. Locations by arrangement in Salzburg and Upper Austria, especially Salzkammergut and Mondseeland; on request also combined with indoor parts. You benefit from clear structure, mindful guidance and the regenerating power of forest and landscape – for more lightness, connection and tangible change.
Work in progress – my website is evolving.
I’m currently working with a lot of joy and creativity on my new web presence.
Soon you’ll find more here about my services, about NVC and needs-centered life design, and about me.
Until then I invite you to contact me for a personal, free initial call.
I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! I’m Hermann.
How are you – really?
I love connection with people and nature, and at the same time I’m a passionate engineer and scientist.
In my work I bring these elements together:
The model of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by Marshall Rosenberg forms the basis for my work as a trainer; my analytical thinking as an engineer helps me create clarity and structure; and my scientific approach brings diverse and reliable background knowledge.
I use the power of nature to create calm and freedom and to support sensing ourselves. This opens up new spaces for action and personal development for my participants and clients.
