INTRODUCTION TO THE INSIGHT APPROACH TO CONFLICT
August 1-2, 2019
Have you ever been stumped, and discouraged, by the continuing and sometimes escalating couple conflict at the collaborative or mediation table – despite your sincere efforts to help? In this workshop, we will introduce the Insight Approach to Conflict Resolution, which teaches us to notice and respond to conflict behaviours rather than what the conflict is about. We will learn how to ask questions, and what to ask about, to unearth the threats that escalate and sustain conflict. Then we will focus on how to use what is learned to promote an authentic shift from conflict to collaboration, without forcing or faking it.
Trainer: Jacinta Gallant

THE AUTHENTIC PROFESSIONAL SERIES – 1 DAY COURSES
August 7 – Communication FLOW, with Harmony Wagner and Jacinta Gallant
If you have ever wanted to feel more integration in your professional and personal life, this workshop is for you. We will focus on communication and conflict to help you be more authentic and natural at work, and in your life generally. This workshop introduces a new approach to establishing and maintaining the connections required to harmonize stress and collaborate. You will find it immediately applicable to your work, and your life.
In this experiential and interactive workshop, we will dissect the anatomy of conflict and garner practical tools to improve listening skills, defuse defensiveness and facilitate dialogue. We will work with movement to apply basic Tai Chi principles to the communication process, and learn how to keep the conversation moving forward between opposing forces. Working from the tenet that continued flow is the basis of fruitful negotiation and the resolution of disputes, we will offer tools and techniques to help you respond, rather than react, in conflict situations.
