From the Presenter:
I’ve spent the last two decades learning, practicing, and teaching parents how to prevent family conflicts. Parents usually feel judged – by their kids, their partners, their in-laws, other parents, and (the harshest critics of all) themselves. I see what every family member does through a judgment-free lens, which results in robust, compassionate conflict transformation.

About the workshop:
- Why compromise doesn't work in the long run and the mindset shift that makes conflict prevention and repair possible
- A streamlined four step process for preventing and resolving conflicts that results in win-win solutions for everyone
- Inspiring and educational case studies of families using this process to transform long standing conflicts
- How to avoid the common pitfalls that escalate conflict despite parents’ best intentions
- How to make requests —not demands—while remaining confident that parents won’t give up on what’s important to them
Who Should Attend: This workshop is perfect for parents if…
- They’ve tried a million things but can’t stop the same fights about issues like chores, screentime, and how your kids’ treat each other from happening.
- They’re sick of being a pushover or police officer (sometimes both on the same day).
- They don't want to fight with their partner about how to handle conflict with their kids
- They’re scared that their inability to handle conflicts is corroding their kids’ trust in them and, as a result, their kids aren’t telling them what’s really going on for them
- They fear that these ongoing conflicts are hurting their kids’ relationships with their siblings now and in the future.
This workshop is a significant step on a journey to…
- Everyone in the family (finally) getting along.
- Building real trust and open communication with each other.
- Peace of mind that kids will ask their parents for help when they need it and won’t sneak around.
- Confidence that if a fight does happen, it’s not going to ruin everyone’s day or dinner and everyone will learn something from it.
- Siblings handle their conflicts on their own in a healthy, productive way.
