Why weren’t we taught this at school? introduces Needs Understanding, a fresh approach for finding creative solutions and building relationships at home and at work. It’s based on one simple idea: we’re all on a quest to meet our underlying human needs – such as belonging, knowing we matter, and fun.

Whether you are trying to make a tricky decision, communicate more effectively, parent the way you want to, or make a difference in the world, Needs Understanding can help.
•    Understand the ‘fingerprint needs’ that drive your behaviour;
•    Discover 10 ways you listen that alienate other people, and what to do instead;
•    Stop blaming yourself and others, and fix what’s going on underneath
•    Find creative solutions to difficult problems by ‘walking around the mountain’
•    Empower yourself to change the world.

About the Author: Alice Sheldon is the creator of Needs Understanding, a fresh and exciting approach for finding practical solutions to problems, and building relationships that work. Alice graduated from Oxford University with an MA in Psychology and Neurophysiology. She’s always had a strong interest in how we can contribute to the creation of a more inclusive world. This has taken her on a career path that includes being a secondary school teacher, a barrister, and leading the Bar’s national pro bono charity, Advocate. During this time Alice came across two life-changing pieces of understanding. The first was psychotherapy, which inspired a deep learning journey. The second was Nonviolent Communication (NVC), which led to her becoming a Certified Trainer with the Center for Nonviolent Communication. Subsequently, she developed a model of partnership parenting, and for a decade worked with hundreds of fellow parents to create thriving relationships with their children. This became the springboard for her creation of Needs Understanding, which brings a partnership approach into all spheres of life. Alice shares Needs Understanding globally with individuals and organisations. You can find out more about her work at www.needs-understanding.com.
