[Factc] COVID 19 Specific Leadership Training

[Jennifer Whetham]

Hey, everyone!

I just signed up for this free leadership training offered by Paul Horton of the Athena Group: "Turning Tensions & Conflict into Growth and Creative Engagement."

In the name of vulnerability and transparency, I spent most of the weekend feeling the impact of many tensions ... I've definitely had one or two conflicts (ok, more than that!)  ... and I definitely felt a great deal of indecision over the past few weeks.

So reading Paul's description? I felt like he was talking to me! I honestly don't think I can wait until April 21st: who knows what mistakes I'll make in the meantime?

If you read below, and it sounds resonant, I highly encourage you to check out Paul's training! I've taken trainings with him in the past, and they've given me all kinds of new skills and information--I always walk away immediately applicable tools and strategies ... and many of them stand the test of time (that's how you know a training is really good!)

Questions? Please contact Paul at paulh at athenaplace.com

Greetings.  Are you dealing with more tensions, conflicts or indecision in these challenging times?
I'm offering a free online talk on how you can turn tensions and conflict into opportunities for growth and creative engagement via Zoom on Tuesday, April 21 at 9:00am PST.  Please join me.  This offering is open to all. Feel free to share. ❤️

The very natural anxieties many of us are experiencing as a result of being cooped-up at home, as well as the economic uncertainty and the Corona virus itself, can easily exacerbate tensions that are already present in our working relationships and at home.  Even when we’re at our very best, most of us tend to shy away from conflict because of past negative experiences we’ve had with it.  But just because we ignore it, and despite our best efforts to seek harmony, conflicts don’t just magically go away.  The truth is that the longer we go without addressing conflicts, the bigger they become and the farther we move from each other – and the harder it is to get things done!


Ironically, it turns out that conflict is really the key to growth and that successful resolution opens pathways to new insights, growth and a deepening of our relationships.  Working well with differences and conflict will also help us make better decisions in general.



I’m a certified practitioner of a scientifically based conflict resolution methodology that was developed in post-apartheid South Africa.  The methodology allows people to come into conversation around difficult topics or divisive or stuck dynamics, and then develops your ability to generate personal insights and uncover possibilities for moving forward.



You’ll learn how to:


  *   pick up on the early signs of conflict so you’re able to reduce tension before it becomes a problem
  *   resolve differences of opinions, arguments and conflicts instead of allowing anger and blaming to continue
  *   come to decisions that everyone can feel ownership over

There will also be time for questions and answers.

Hope to see you there.  Paul
