Hello, listeners. Today we're talking about jackals and giraffes. Giraffes are apparently the NVC animal. Well, let's back up a little bit. Which one would you rather be, a jackal or a giraffe? When I think of jackals, the picture that I have of the jackal is not very nice, kind of like these predatory animals, they're close to the ground. They always have to travel in packs. Giraffes seem pretty majestic, they have a grace about them and the way that they walk, they're very tall and are supposedly the land mammal with the largest heart. They happen to be the symbol of Non-Violent Communication, because NVC is heart based.\n\nListen in as we explain a little more about why the jackal on the giraffe are used as models for NVC.
