Let Us Train Your Staff
Conflict is stressful. And yet, it also offers opportunities to strengthen and repair relationships. Our trainings build your staff’s dispute resolution skills, helping them improve team cohesion and resolve workplace differences. With a focus on mediation skills, we help your staff navigate difficult conversations, manage disagreements, and address challenges creatively.
Our trainings are engaging and participant-centered: group-work, coaching, multimedia, drawing, and discussion are central features (oh, and NO PowerPoint). We ensure our participants have a significant amount of time to practice the skills they’re learning, ask questions, and wrestle challenging concepts to the ground.
