In this episode of Engineering Peace, Thom Bond reflects on 15 years of developing and teaching The Compassion Course (http://compassioncourse.org)—a structured approach to teaching Nonviolent Communication and real-world conflict resolution skills.

Thom explores how the course has evolved over time, what makes it effective, and why compassion must be practiced as a skill—not just understood as an idea. Drawing on insights from thousands of participants, he shares what it takes to create lasting personal peace and navigate difficult conversations with clarity and care.

If you're interested in emotional intelligence, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), or practical tools for resolving conflict, this episode offers a deep and thoughtful perspective.
