Being an Anti-Racist Conflict Professional – Purchase LInk
The lenses of race, equity and culture have opened widely in the last year. Along with many other people, conflict professionals have turned to books, podcasts, documentaries, workshops and other means of learning about the systemic injustices built into American society, governance, and culture.

What do we need to change in our work styles, habits, procedures, processes, and environment to be anti-racist in our everyday work lives as conflict professionals?

Emotions Webinar
Many conflict professionals are compelled to present rationale arguments and strive to avoid too much emotion from permeating into the conflict resolution process. Yet, emotions are a necessary part of decision making, and often are the key to helping clients reach resolution by allowing them to express and better understand their emotions—or lack thereof. Additionally, conflict professionals are human beings with their own emotions and experiences that can help provide them a window to better understand their clients’ emotions. In this webinar, our panelists share their insights on the role emotions play in the conflict—and ultimately the resolution, explore how to turn emotional reactions into opportunities to build meaningful and effective resolution, and provide tools and techniques to better pay attention to your own emotions and what to do when those emotions are rising.

Webinar: Conflict Through Race and Culture Lenses
People in conflict often focus on their positions, each person advocating for the solution that they believe is the right and just one. Power and coercion are used to pressure the other person to concede. The discussion revolves around the “issue” at hand, and may ignore the many layers and forces operating below the surface and from the outside. Each person in the conflict is driven by what is important to them on a deeper level and is impacted by familial, cultural, racial, and societal forces, yet these may not be explicitly acknowledged or examined. In this webinar, we focus on race and culture in conflict.

Webinar: Dealing with External Forces
Back-seat Drivers, Tribe, Adversarial Consulting Attorneys, and More
In the Understanding-based model, the parties in conflict ultimately know which solution will work best, with the mediator playing a supportive role. Too often, however, external forces, such as family members full of opinions of what should be done, adversarial consulting attorneys who are lacking the necessary holistic context of the conflict, and other external forces can create upheaval along the pathway to resolution. In this webinar, we examine how mediators can deal with these forces to help ensure that the conflicted parties can resolve their dispute together.
