Community Through Conflict

"Conflict resolution" and "consensus building" are phrases that have become familiar in the workplace. To achieve these goals, skills are typically taught that help coworkers and team members overcome conflictual obstacles to company success. Quite often, however, something is missing and the new learning doesn't take hold. What is missing is the power of awareness, deep responsibility, and the courage to tell the truth. The skills alone aren't enough.

What is often overlooked in favor of skills and information are the four cornerstones that Andrew places at the heart of all of his work: awareness, emotional truth, integrity and vital relationship. When the inside realities (internal experiences of thoughts, feelings, wants, needs and body sensations) are attended to, the outside events (responses and behaviors) enjoy greater success. It's a matter-whether at home or at work-of living from the inside out.

This workshop emphasizes personal awareness, responsibility and choice in addition to the traditional tools needed for communication, conflict resolution and consensus building. Conflict becomes an opportunity to create community, rather than something inevitably leading to pain, frustration and "losing".

Andrew uses a highly engaging and interactive style of presentation to teach, inspire and create possibilities for active learning. His passion about his work is expressed in his use of music, creative imagination, experiential approaches and humor.
