Transforming Conflict Management into Compassionate Collaboration:
Transforming Conflict Management into Compassionate Collaboration:The problem in the world is not that there is too much conflict. See Article: From Collaboration to ConflictCollaboration Training ProgramsIn this 2.5 day training participants will learn:
Rather than teaching you about conflict, The Folly of Managing ConflictBecause it is impossible to work effectively to reduce the presence of an undesired or negative situation, conflict management makes little sense. While some conflict is inevitable in confronting injustice and inequality, most church conflicts are unnecessary and often painful distractions from the tasks of proclaiming the Gospel. At its best, managing conflict is a temporary way station but it will not lead to lasting, sustainable, transformation. Many of the appreciative strategies we teach are designed to create collaborative transformational change which minimizes the potential for conflict. However as consultants we are continually asked to create appreciative responses for people who are already in conflict and this program is designed to appreciatively resource people in the midst of conflict. We are also committed to living compassionately as agents of transformation. In this training we will use the three-fold understanding of compassion consisting of tenderness, fierceness, and mischievousness to develop unique compassionate responses to ourselves and others as we transform conflict into collaboration. Jesus did not entrust us with a ministry of conflict management EligibilityThis program is built on the core understanding of Appreciative Inquiry and is open to Clergy and Laity who have completed the Clergy Leadership Institute Appreciative Inquiry training.

What Participants Say"Of all the training I have been to, your notes are the ones I keep coming back to time and again for practical resources." Rob's training is full of heart, wit, and passion. Rob's educational model brings body, mind and spirit together. I have been challenged intellectually, transformed spiritually, touched emotionally, gathering in communally. He came into my life at just the right time. Jean Holmes, Presbyterian Pastor After 45 years in the pastoral ministry and attending three events led by Rob Voyle, I have finally learned a better way to help church leaders help themselves and the people they serve. Rob's combination of organizational savvy, teaching skills, theological & spiritual integration, and ability to rapidly build supportive, learning communities is quite simply the best in any of
the churches today.
