It is so exciting to be working with the High Conflict Institute on course offerings for leaders.
New Ways for Work®-Leaders is a new course I have developed together with Bill Eddy and Megan Hunter at the High Conflict Institute. We’re pleased to offer training dates approximately every 2 months at times to accommodate different time zones across the globe. It’s 8 hours of livestream online training taught by me plus additional on-demand learning with Bill Eddy for people who want to go even deeper with the material.
This link takes you to the landing page for the New Ways For Work®-Leaders course where you see more detail about the course as well as times and the registration link.
High Conflict Institute also offers the New Ways For Work®-Coaching training course (which I also teach). It is designed for professionals who want to learn to coach employees with high-conflict behaviors and their co-workers to improve personal relationship skills in order to calm high-conflict situations.
