PCRMS Training Services - Don't Hate Mediate!

PCRMS under Dr. Millicent Carvalho has developed a successful approach to conflict resolution, which utilizes several different approaches to conflict resolution as opposed to the boilerplate (one-size-fits-all) approach utilized by the majority of other conflict resolution practitioners.

Training is designed to meet the specific needs of companies, non-profits organizations and government agencies. A boilerplate approach to conflict resolution training is a hit or miss proposition.  If it worked, it would be a stroke of genius. However, it is unlikely that a boilerplate approach to training will work long term, particularly considering the changing dynamics of companies and conflict situations.

A manager�s ability to effect change is generally dependent upon developing and nurturing effective worker customer and supervisor-supervisee relationships. Maintaining trusting relationships with clients and representatives of collateral agencies are an important part of service delivery. Not all workers are comfortable, however, working with diverse constituencies � (Dr. Carvalho 2008)
