"Identifying the roles we play in conflicts has been enlightening. In fact, it can reduce the potential for a discussion to escalate to a conflict. Unfortunately, in our line of work, conflict avoidance is not always possible. Identifying the roles has provided me with the insight for me to put myself in the 'other persons shoes' faster, resulting in a clearer view of the total picture!"

Mediation student
"In any event, I think that anyone with a passion for what they do (you!) takes great validation from someone saying that they had a positive impact on their lives. I need you to know that your teaching at the Justice Institute gave me something that was an "ah hah moment" that has impacted my life in a positive way.
I had no idea that when I took the course I would be able to deal with conflict in the personal and business arenas in a brand new and much better fashion...that your insights took me out of old ways of doing things that were not working for me...and that the insights I gained would change my life in a good way. They really have! So, thank you."

I currently work in a problematic environment. Gary's workshop provided me with some tools to understand and improve the situation. The best session I've been to in 16 years of working - a really empowering workshop. Thanks.

I work as a supervisor and these are excellent skills to have in my tool basket . . . and to allow me to make conscious choices in conflict. Gary was inviting, authentic and openly sharing.
