Religion and Dispute Resolution

The context of this class is truly unique. It will educate students in a powerful transformative mediation model, interspersed with on-site tours that highlight the spirit of artistic rivalry and revival, conflict and creativity, that blossomed into the Italian Renaissance. This interactive course is designed to prepare leaders to deal effectively with interpersonal, congregational and other forms of group conflict. Although primarily focused on the religious environment, the skills learned are directly transferable to other settings, and will be invaluable to managers in business, attorneys, mediators, and other professionals who manage conflict.

 

 

International Organizational Consulting

While many national cultures share a common interest in building collaborative work environments, the approaches and techniques used vary greatly by country and culture.  What works best for US domestic organizations is not always applicable or translatable to international organizations or those based in other countries.  This course is designed to provide students with proven best practice models used to foster organizational collaboration as well as innovative tools and techniques for facilitating collaboration in different work settings.  An array of international guest speakers will offer additional insights on the  multitude of challenges in this complex arena.
