"Cracking the Code: The Secrets of Effective Human Interaction through Conflict Communication"

Next to not being there at all, an effective de-escalation strategy is the highest order win in personal safety. There are good conflict management systems developed by various research groups. In particular, we recommend the Society of Friends program in mediation. But when it comes to a down & dirty, incredibly generalizable, daily application (tested) conflict management approach, this is it. With this course you get nearly 10 hours of "ConCom" material. The expanded and updated presentations by Dr. Tammy Yard-McCracken & the original presentation from which the book was written by Rory Miller (you get that one for free!)  This award winning material has been utilized in part and in full across the globe for corporate, law enforcement (& other force professional organizations), and civilian groups. It is a key component for any self-defense program understanding de-escalation is an essential, critical skill.
