What others say…

Take a breath. Pause. Become a little more mindful. Learn to shift your style so that everybody wins. Nobody said it was easy. But it is definitely worth the work, for you, your friends, your associates, your boss and that special person in your life.

This short read can change your life. --Jerry Fletcher, Consultant to Consultants

Mindfulness is powerful. With skilled leaders, I can learn steps fairly quickly and easily.

Thank you...You found a way of pointing out simple but empowering tools to use on a day-to-day (maybe minute by minute) situation or problem.

I enjoyed how you made the very intimidating concept of negotiating conflict accessible, doable, and not difficult to practice!

I thought of mindfulness as the opposite of conflict. Now I understand how I can be clearer and calmer even in tough situations.--Workshop Participants
