Train the Trainer
November 16, 8:30-4:30, November 17-18, 9:00-3:00

Equip individuals and teams with a time-tested process that stops drama and conflict from sabotaging morale, trust, and profitability.

Build conflict competence from the ground up by facilitating Thera Rising's foundational seminar, "Self-Defeating Habits of Otherwise Brilliant People®". Associates master a cirriculum to help teams and organizations constructively manage conflict and toxicity, and avoid the common missteps that erode productivity and trust.

These strategies are useful for both thriving and high-conflict workplaces. In high-functioning groups, employees and leaders learn how to preserve healthy environments in the face of day-to-day frustration and disagreement. In struggling teams, the seminar is a critical first step toward improved cohesiveness.

Teach your clients to:

• Short-circuit anger, indignation, and blame
• Sidestep the Nine Stages of Escalated Conflict
• Avoid personality attribution–a dead end that impedes resolution
• Enhance their ability to problem-solve by tackling the five root causes of workplace tension
• Eliminate unconscious behaviors that spark power struggles and mistrust
• Focus on hidden situational pressures
• Calm angry colleagues or clients and guide them to search for solutions
• Avoid negative reciprocity
• Open the dialogue with a 96% possibility of a positive outcome

After attending the seminar as a participant, trainers attend an Open Seminar (November 16) as observers, using their copy of the trainer’s manual. The observation session is followed by two days of coaching, practice, and customization on November 17-18.

Participants must have attended a session of "Self-Defeating Habits of Otherwise Brilliant People®". If you haven't taken "Self-Defeating Habits", contact Ben Martin about attending the November 16 Open Seminar free of charge, or alternate ways of meeting the prerequisites.

ReconciliationWorks
November 19-20, 9:00-3:00

Uproot and replace toxic norms in teams by facilitating Code of Conduct sessions, and to resolve conflict between two individuals with Thera Rising's time-tested process.

Day One – Strengthen Trust and Collaboration in Teams
Apply Thera Rising's strategies directly to organizational culture. Help key players identify destructive and divisive behaviors within their team or department, and then establish productive, positive alternatives. Individuals take responsibility and ownership of the code, gently nudging outliers toward healthier norms.

Day Two – Resolve Conflict Between Two Individuals
Resolve entrenched conflicts painlessly and permanently. Bring feuding colleagues to the table, and turn them into rock-solid allies.

"ReconciliationWorks" will prepare you to:

• Determine whether a situation calls for conflict resolution, performance management, therapy, or coaching
• Generate buy-in and a shared sense of responsibility
• Make it safe for your clients to talk to each other, rather than about each other
• Shift the focus from resentment about past events to future commitments
• Create detailed resolutions that withstand the pressure of disagreement
• Avoid the common errors that derail well-intended facilitators

Participants must have attended a session of "Self-Defeating Habits of Otherwise Brilliant People®". If you haven't taken "Self-Defeating Habits", contact Ben Martin about attending the November 16 Open Seminar free of charge, or alternate ways of meeting the prerequisites.

Return on Investment

Fee-Generating Consultants

Your organization sets seminar facilitation fees for clients between $3,600 and $4,500 per seminar and keeps 100% of facilitation fees. Facilitating a half-day Code of Conduct session is typically billed at $3,200 and resolving conflict between pairs generates roughly $2,800 and $3,000 additional income. Your organization keeps 100% of facilitation fees. Your only obligation to Thera Rising is to purchase materials for seminar attendees–a cost that is passed on to your clients.

Example: A client is struggling with a dysfunctional team or department. You recommend a one-day seminar to dismantle factions, a half-day Code of Conduct session to repair group norms, and facilitation to resolve conflict between two key stakeholders. The trainer's total time investment is approximately 3 days and net revenue is more than $10,000.

In-House Trainers

Professionals that work exclusively within their organization can save thousands of dollars in facilitation fees. Royalty requirements are met by purchasing materials from Thera Rising - a cost that is often met with your client's resources.

Material Purchase

In 2015 the cost for materials is $127 per attendee. Materials include a participant manual and full-color strategy cards.

Candidates for Certification
