At Vision Change Win, we dream of movement organizations so intentional, resilient, and skilled that the need for outside mediators is rare. We dream of organizations equipped to lead through and with challenging conflicts.
We invite your group or organization to join the Transforming Conflict cohort, where you will learn about the root causes of conflict, practice tools to lead skillfully through conflict and be trained in the seven steps of mediation, all with the politics and values of movement organizations at the center.
This highly interactive small cohort is designed for organizations ready to transform how they view and address conflict and who have the capacity to send three or more people to attend sessions on a range of Tuesdays, and Wednesdays in August and September 2024.
Applications are now closed for the Summer 2024 cohort. Stay tuned for details about the next time we will run this program.

This training helped me reflect on my own conflict tendencies and think about how I show up in my organization with conflict.
