Conflict Resolution with Power and Privilege in Mind (2-Part Series)
This is a live, online event where you’ll participate actively with other attendees!
Registration for this training is offered on a sliding scale depending on your individual and organizational access to financial resources. Our sliding scale is an intentional effort to distribute resources equitably between organizations and individuals we work with. If your personal or organizational budget allows, please pay the Sustain or Redistribution cost so we can keep registration accessible for leaders and organizations who may not be in the same position. Greater access strengthens us all!

Interpersonal conflict isn’t a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. Most of us avoid conflict, forgetting that on the other side of tension we can often find transformation.
When we get into conflict with each other (at our organizations or in movement spaces), we often do so without taking time and space beforehand to slow down and explore our own relationship to conflict—namely, what drives our reactions and how our approach to conflict relates to power and privilege. This is a space to learn how to shift power dynamics by employing communication skills like listening, inquiry, and empathy.
Who is this training for?
This is a space for people who work at nonprofit organizations and/or in social justice movement spaces who want to explore approaches to interpersonal conflict resolution and develop an approach that reflects their values.
In this online workshop, you will:
- Learn five Conflict Resolution styles and how they intersect with positional power and social privilege
- Identify how you want to be your “best self” in conflict
- Build on your abilities of listening, inquiry, and empathy as skills for working through conflict

Our trainings come alive with your participation and willingness to engage.
