This dynamic, highly-engaging program will show your people how to stay centered and choose the most creative response to a variety of challenging situations. Participants will develop new and effective ways of perceiving, understanding and responding to conflict to create win/win outcomes. The highlight of the workshop will be a demonstration of the martial art of Aikido (“the way of harmonious energy”), including audience participation (safe, fun and team-building!).

Participants will learn:

• Techniques for “centering” mind and body under stress
• Four essential elements for analyzing a conflict/negotiation
• Four common misperceptions and 3 basic styles of responding to conflict/negotiation
• Secrets of “blending” with an attack to redirect and neutralize it

• A sophisticated, effective approach to strategic thinking
• Practical methods for increasing the flow of life energy.
