The intensive is designed for leaders who want to examine and transform their response to conflict. If you are a leader looking for change, this is for you.

Traditional training often focuses on tools and techniques. The Conflict Fluency intensive builds an adaptive practice—shaping how you perceive, interpret, and respond to conflict over time. It integrates retreats, coaching, and ongoing practice to support sustained change in how you lead and relate.

You will build the capacity to read conflict clearly, access the information it holds, and take constructive action in complex situations. You will also deepen your ability to work with uncertainty, strengthen relationships, and create cultures where conflict becomes a driver of innovation and positive change.

The program spans 10 months and includes two in-person weekend retreats in Vermont, monthly 1-1 coaching sessions, monthly group training sessions, weekly practice prompts, and focused reading and individual work between meetings. The structure supports leaders with demanding schedules while maintaining continuity of practice.

Between training and coaching sessions, you can expect 30–60 minutes of focused reading and individual reflection or practice each month. This work is designed to support continuity of learning without overwhelming a full leadership schedule.

No. Participants come with a wide range of backgrounds. The work does not require prior conflict resolution training—only an interest in examining your own patterns and engaging conflict with greater clarity and intention. The program meets you where you are and supports your growth over time.

The cohort includes up to eight leaders. The small size allows for depth of conversation, meaningful peer exchange, and individualized attention in both group sessions and coaching.

The work in the intensive can encompass personal, professional, organizational, or community-based conflicts. The practice centers on real situations you are navigating—questions, decisions, patterns, or relationships—and supports you in developing practical and constructive ways of engaging them.

Yes. I work with individuals from a range of fields—including business, education, the arts, science, nonprofits, and entreprenurial work. The practice is grounded in principles that apply across contexts, and the diversity of perspectives strengthens the learning.

The financial investment for the 10-month Conflict Fluency intensive is $20,000. This includes all training, coaching, and retreats. Full catering for the retreats is included. Accommodation at the Farmhouse is paid separately. Rates available upon request. Travel is not included.

Yes, I often work with leaders who receive support from their organizations as part of their leadership development. When needed, I will provide a brief program overview or documentation to help with internal approval or reimbursement.
