  Dare to Be Different: Becoming a Preventive Practitioner
  A Training Tool for Avoiding Disputes

  Think Upstream.

  The conflict resolution field has long focused on repairing relationships after a dispute breaks out. But what if practitioners could intervene earlier — before conflict takes hold?

  This workshop introduces a proactive alternative to traditional dispute resolution: a seven-step process for recognizing and defusing tension before it escalates into a full-blown dispute.

  Attendees leave with a practical framework — and a new service offering they can bring straight to clients.

  **This webinar is pending approval for 1.0 hours of CME credit (0.0 ethics) by the Supreme Court of Virginia.**
