Introducing the One-on-one Dispute Resolution Process: Conflict Coaching
Conflict coaching, a widely recognized professional development intervention, was a hot topic at the ACR Conference in Atlanta this October. Join us for our November 18 meeting and hear nationally renowned authors, Tricia S. Jones (Temple University) and Ross Brinkert (PSU, Abington) discuss their new book, Conflict Coaching: Conflict Management Strategies and Skills for the Individual (Sage Publications, 2008). Come and hear why these experts anticipate that conflict coaching will shortly parallel mediation as a core intervention in our field.
