Leif Stringer: Teaching self-empathy and deeper listening

Leif Stringer, a resource counselor in the UF Levin College of Law, first joined UF in August 2014.

A longtime student and practitioner of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Stringer is completing certification to be an NVC trainer and is finishing his graduate degree in Social Work. He is committed to helping individuals, families and groups communicate more effectively and become more conscious and present listeners.

Stringer will be teaching a course called “Compassionate Communication in the Workplace” at UF for the first time this fall. UF at Work recently sat down with him for an interview, which you can read here.
