The Positive Solutions Academy teaches conflict prevention and resolution skills nationally. We cement skills through highly interactive participant engagement utilizing role playing and other exercises. And, our courses emphasize conflict scenarios appropriate for the participants. Training can be done on-site or virtually. Training formats include one-to-two-hour modules up to full day retreats. Our mediator certification courses are designed to satisfy the Virginia Supreme Court’s certification standards. We also provide mentoring to satisfy observation and co-mediation requirements.
Conflict Competency in the Workplace
Rather than hire outside mediators, in-house training to enhance the resolution skills of managers and their employees is becoming commonplace. We have modules for managers, for teams and for protecting working relationships with external customers and vendors.
Conflict Competency at Home
Learn new skills to work through conflict dynamics as children grow into teenagers, when adult children return home, as aging parents require a new approach to the relationship or when spousal communication needs refreshing.
Conflict Competency for your Organization
Run a non-profit or another type of community-based organization? Do you lead a department or state agency? Are you on the professional staff of a local government? Conflict resolutions skills training is not just for the private sector and for families.
Superior Communication Skills for Public Sector Leaders
Are you running for office or hold elected office already? Have you been asked to Chair and Committee or Commission that interfaces with a variety of stakeholders including the public at large? Are you tasked with ensuring civility in public meetings? We can train you on how to manage these very public interactions with our resolution skills training.
