Conflict is an inevitable part of leadership and community work — but how we approach it can mean the difference between division and meaningful progress. In this interactive one-hour session, we’ll explore practical tools for identifying your own conflict style, navigating challenging personalities, and reframing tough conversations into opportunities for collaboration. You’ll also learn how Convergence’s nationally recognized Collaborative Problem-Solving process can be used to bridge divides, build trust, and create understanding across differences in your public meetings.
The session will be facilitated by Mariah Levison, President & CEO of Convergence Center for Policy Resolution, and Gabriel Herrera, Director of Programs. Mariah brings more than 15 years of experience in dialogue, mediation, and public engagement, with a deep focus on helping groups in conflict find common ground. Gabriel is a dialogue facilitator with nearly a decade of experience in conflict coaching, mediation, and collaborative problem-solving – bringing diverse voices together to navigate complex challenges.
