family mediator, teaches participants a range of useful conflict resolution techniques
and communications skills. Use these skills for your holidays (and afterwards
too!).

CONFLICT RESOLUTION TECHNIQUES
THAT WORK - FOR PRESCHOOL DIRECTORS
In this workshop, participants will learn: (1) a positive conceptual
framework for thinking about disputes; (2) three powerful conflict
resolutions techniques, (focusing on the problem, not the people; working
at the deeper level of underlying interests, not bargaining positions;
and generating options which are mutually beneficial); and (3) useful
communications skills to listen in a way that hears more of what is
being said and to talk in a way that enables others to really understand.
The last part of the workshop will provide guidance about how to apply
these conflict resolution principles and techniques to the real-life
problems experienced by preschool directors.

When’s the last time you had a meaningful conversation with your
teenager? Do you ever finding yourself facing a brick wall or surrendering
to requests because you’re weary or unsure how to say no? Two parents
of teenagers and conflict resolution professionals will offer guidance
on (1) how to speak in a way that your teens are more likely to hear,
(2) how to encourage your teen to talk with you, and (3) how to say “no” in
a way that promotes cooperation. The workshop will also provide insight

you of the genuinely wonderful person that your teen is.
