NVC Feedback Translation Prompt

Converts evaluative, charged, or accusatory language into NVC-aligned communication that preserves substance while removing the defensiveness trigger. Useful before delivering feedback or entering a mediation.

Syntax

hr-and-ai

Original complaint/feedback: [paste text]

Help me:
1. Extract observable events (no interpretation)
2. Identify likely feelings and needs driving it
3. Rewrite in NVC-aligned language
4. Suggest how to open the conversation
5. Flag language likely to trigger defensiveness

Example

hr-and-ai

// Original complaint: "He always interrupts me and never lets me finish a thought. He clearly doesn't respect me."

// NVC translation:
observation: "In the last four team meetings, you began speaking before I finished my sentence on three occasions",
feeling: "I feel frustrated and unsure whether my contributions are being heard",
need: "I need my contributions to have the same space as others'",
request: "Would you be willing to wait until I indicate I'm done before responding?"

// Flag: "clearly doesn't respect me" is an interpretation of motive — removes it
