The NVC Mentorship and Coaching Directory is a list of people with NVC experience who are currently available to work one-on-one as mentors or coaches.

Guidelines for editing the directory

  • You do not have to be CNVC-certified to be in the directory, but please try to clearly and accurately describe your level of experience and what you have to offer.
  • The directory is a community-maintained system, based on wiki technology. Wikis are designed so that there are no technological restrictions on what users can edit. That means that after you add your information to the directory, anyone else could edit it. My request is that you only add/edit your own information in the directory, unless you have permission from someone else to add/edit their information. Also, occasionally check your information in the directory to confirm that it is still accurate. If you see something in the directory that appears to be vandalism, please edit the directory yourself to remove (or fix) the vandalism.
  • Update your information in the directory at least once per year.
  • Jacob Gotwals created the directory system, and he is its current volunteer administrator. To help meet community needs for order and effectiveness, Jacob's request is that you contact him before you make changes to the directory's structure (for example, before you add a new section). Also contact Jacob before you make changes to the instructions on this page. To contact Jacob about an idea for improving the system, click here to send Jacob an email describing your proposed change. (You do not need to contact Jacob before adding, editing, or deleting your information in the directory.)
