Dr. Katz, will offer an interactive presentation on how to resolve conflicts without confrontation. For those of us who have a hard time with conflict, or those of us who find ourselves caught up in conflict too often, this will be a highly informative session. The Working Circle^®, an 8-step conflict resolving and problem-solving process, was developed by Diane when she got her PhD in Conflict Resolution. It is a highly unusual process, combining eastern and western thought, as well as masculine and feminine approaches. From cowboys to corporate executives, Diane has used The Working Circle^® with great success, and brings it to this presentation for all to take home and apply in their personal and professional lives.
