EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING
“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.” Sigmund Freud

What is conflict and what is about conflict that makes us do anything to avoid it?  When conflict is avoided, the consequences of unaddressed emotions and frustrations become even more severe.  

This is not your average conflict management course.  “From the Inside” refers to our inner workings, emotions and perceptions - what is happening inside us during conflict.  This course will reveal how our own inner conflict significantly impacts our ability to effectively manage external conflicts. Conflict expert Erica Franken and her guests cover not only the fundamentals of conflict but lead you through an in-depth exploration of your own inner conflict - how you are personally affected by conflict and what you can do to optimize your experience and that of others in difficult situations. 

You will learn about the connection of science, health, psychology and strategy of conflict management that will change your understanding of, and perspective toward conflict, and leave you empowered by the end of the course. Expert contributions from thought leaders and industry experts will enhance your learning experience.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PROFESSIONALS
"I found the format and materials very useful that I could take this in my own time. Examples were clear even though subject matter was complex."

"This course was excellent and taught me to embrace rather than avoid conflict. I was one of the people to avoid due to being uncomfortable but now have the insight that this may cause more conflict. Thank you Erica and the team of experts you chose to help put this course together."
