Managing the Moment When Conflict First Emerges

REGISTER NOW

Join facilitation expert Laird Schaub for an introduction on how to work with conflict for the well-being of your community.

When conflict arises, it’s often unclear how to best tackle it or where to even begin. In this free one-hour webinar, Laird will examine what’s happening in the moment when people become aware that someone –either themselves or others–goes into nontrivial reactivity.

We’ll examine how reactivity shows up, what’s going on for the individual in reaction, and the choices you have on how to respond constructively.

What you’ll gain from this session:

• Better understanding of what conflict is, and what’s happening for the individuals involved
• Ideas about what it means to respond constructively when conflict emerges
• Why so many people are conflict avoidant, and what you can do about it
• A first-hand experience of Laird, to help you decide if you’d like to enroll in his Working Constructively with Conflict in Community course

This is a one-hour teaser for an upcoming 5-week course, Working Constructively with Conflict in Community. In this immersive program Laird Schaub will cover what you need to know to move through conflict with as much grace as possible and come out the other side stronger than before.

“Laird is an amazing resource in terms of experience, presentation and facilitation style, and ability to effectively connect with individuals under challenging circumstances. Talking about conflict can sound scary, but having it organized into concrete steps made it seem not only possible, but absolutely worth doing.”

– Leslie Thomsen

Meet the Instructor

Laird Schaub

Laird’s specialty is up-tempo inclusive meetings that engage the full range of human input, teaching groups to work creatively with conflict and diversity—all the while being ruthless about capturing as much product as possible. Laird lived for four decades at Sandhill Farm, an income-sharing rural community that he helped found.

He also helped found the Foundation for Intentional Community, where he served as the main administrator for 28 years. In 1987 he created a self-insurance fund for healthcare among income-sharing communities called PEACH (Preservation of Equity Accessible for Community Health) that he ran for 22 years.

In addition to his expertise in community living, he’s parlayed his passion for good process into a consulting business focused on cooperative group dynamics, styled CANBRIDGE (Consensus And Network Building for Resolving Impasse and Developing Group Effectiveness), since 1987..
