Conflict is a Participant Sport  

How do you feel during and after you have a conflict? Would you rather manage your conflicts well enough that you don't feel bad, guilty, or regretful? Join CALL member and conflict specialist, Dr. Deborah Sword, in workshops to develop your conflict competencies. You do conflict better when you know the actual problem, and are able to choose the conflict skills best suited to manage that issue.

In three interactive workshops, we’ll build on conflict competencies we already use, and apply the skills to real situations. Attend all three workshops for in-depth conflict competencies, or register for individual sessions.

Bio: Dr. Deborah Sword has been a conflict specialist for over 30 years, locally, nationally, and internationally. She uses entertaining exercises and group discussions to explore, think about, and manage conflict. Deborah also podcasts and writes a Substack newsletter: Conflict Owner’s Manual.
