Free Training: How to Prevent and Manage Conflict

Know someone who's been struggling with conflict in their group?

Please tell them about this free training.

Knowing how to manage conflict is great but preventing it in the first place is even better!

In this session I’m going to discuss the common causes of conflict, how to prevent these causes, and how to successfully manage conflict when it’s happening. I will also discuss simple steps for conflict resolution.

I will be sharing all kinds of strategies so you can effectively prevent bad conflict, manage good conflict, and perhaps most importantly, make peace with yourself when in the midst of conflict.

My Training Talk Shows are always free. Always interactive. Just 50 minutes online.

Join the Conversation at WERU Community Radio

Created by StoryCorps, One Small Step is an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us, even those with whom we disagree. The initiative brings strangers with different political beliefs together for a conversation—not to debate politics—but to get to know each other as people. WERU and StoryCorps invite you to take part in One Small Step, an effort to bring communities together, one conversation at a time.

In collaboration with StoryCorps and other community organizations throughout Eastern Maine, WERU invites you to meet someone new — a fellow resident with different political beliefs from you, who you might never talk to otherwise — for a simple, personal, 50-minute conversation.

One Small Step is based on contact theory, which states that a meaningful interaction between people with opposing views can help turn “thems” into “us-es.” Its scientific and systematic approach is supported by a group of advisors that include scientists, researchers, and psychologists. Since its launch in 2021, over 3,400 people across 40 states have participated in a One Small Step conversation.

WERU is one of just five stations selected nationally to host One Small Step in 2023. With participant permission, these conversations will be preserved for future generations at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
