John and Carolyn have provided workshops on a wide variety of conflict resolution and mediation topics. We are happy to work with your organization to plan a presentation geared to your needs and interests. We offer multi-hour, in-depth conflict resolution and mediation workshops, as well as informal presentations.

We have presented at numerous national and regional conferences, including the Association for Conflict Resolution, the National Association of Social Workers-Maryland Chapter, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, and the Maryland Mediators Convention.

Other audiences have included Montgomery County Public Schools, Association of Practicing Psychologists, National Security Agency, Jewish Social Services Agency, Montgomery County Commission for Women, Mid-Atlantic Geriatric Care Managers Association, Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and New Beginnings, to name just a few.

We also host a popular lunch-time seminar series for therapists and other divorce professionals at our office, as well as taking these informal seminars “on the road” to the offices of professional practices. These seminars are intentionally small-scale gatherings designed to share expertise among allies.
