Arnina Kashtan

Arnina Kashtan, certified NVC trainer (1992), is the creator of “The Compass”, the process for personal, familial & collective liberation, and author of “Falling in Love with Myself Again” (2016). Founder of Meitarim, the Center for The Compass & NVC Studies in Israel (2000), she delivers workshops and trainings, online & offline, to the general public, as well as trainings for coaches, mediators & trainers (in Hebrew, English & Spanish).

Arnina's passion and special gifts are in enhancing breakthroughs in awareness, thus bringing forth deep transformations on all levels. Her unique approach combines a profound, laser-like exploration into our innermost core, supported by a rare sense of humor and embedded in deep, embracing empathy. The emerging almost magical space she creates has enabled her students all over the world to open up into new understandings and embark on a fresh, compassionate, and expanding free path.

Lisa Rothman

As the executive producer and host of award-winning public radio shows, as a manager dedicated to efficient collaboration, and as a presentation skills coach for Fortune 500 executives and thought leaders, Lisa has spent the last 15 years helping people express themselves clearly and communicate effectively with each other to advance their organizations and their careers.

She enjoyed helping clients figure out what the people they’re speaking with want, how what they have to say meets those criteria, and how to explain that connection in language those people can understand.

Workshop participants describe her training style as supportive and entertaining. She lives in Oakland with her husband Kevin and her children Ezra and Murray. She performs comic monologues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. 

  • Inscrease compassion for yourself through understanding why your capacity may lag so far behind your commitment and what you can do to bridge the gap
  • Higher Compassion for your children as you understand better what life is like from within their own experience rather than from the outside looking in
  • Surge in energy that you can put into new conversations with them designed to make agreements that are based on the truth of where you all are rather than on any "should"

How can you work together with your children to solve problems? In this video, Lisa shares a story about the challenges of navigating schooling on zoom and keeping her child’s creativity and interest alive. By inviting your children into the solution space and giving them the freedom to be themselves, you provide the capacity for trust so that you can solve the problem together and in a way that is tailored to their strengths.
