About This Workshop:
Studies show that over 30% of managers' time can be spent dealing with workplace conflict, yet only about half of managers receive formal conflict resolution training. Let’s change that! This type of training is crucial not only to save time and enhance productivity, but also to create a better working environment for managers, those they manage, and the clients they serve. When managers know how to navigate conflict they are seen as leaders.

If you’re ready for practical tools you can apply right away to prevent, de-escalate and manage everyday workplace conflict without having to involve HR, then this training was designed for you. This workshop will provide an intro to mediation tailored to managers. Together we will explore how to approach situations from a people first, trauma informed lens. We will practice ways to get involved early before things feel unmanageable and go through a step by step process to create solutions.

About the Presenter:
Sierra DeSalvia
With an education in Peace and Conflict Studies, I served as a case manager, mediator and conflict resolution trainer in Baltimore, Maryland, handling cases and leading training in nonprofits, courts, prisons, public housing, and schools. I was honored to be ranked among the best mediators in the Maryland, Virginia, and DC area. As Northern California Program Director I led leadership training for Emerge, an organization dedicated to training women to run for office graduates include the Lieutenant Governor of California, Senators, Assemblymembers, mayors, judges, attorneys and many nonprofit leaders. The approach I am trained in is people driven, meaning those closest to the problem are always the ones with the solution.
