Dear Colleagues and friends of Conflict Management at MIT,

I hope this message finds you all well.

I’m e-mailing with information on the upcoming Conflict Management 
training that will take place the first two weeks of August: short 
description and application link below (andhere 
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11I8zZczMkDvMhMT4UslWD3nLgJA70OAyFI5PmZX4lHA/viewform>!). 
*Applications due May 27^th for an August 1^st start date.*

If August doesn’t work for you (or others), the training will run again 
over the fall semester (Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 10am to 12pm) and 
the spring semester (Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 5 to 7pm). See the

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for your support!

Looking forward,

    Conflict Management Training

Conflict Management at MIT offers a three-tiered conflict management 
training for all MIT affiliates three times per year, over the fall 
semester, over the spring semester, and for two weeks in August. The 
training is tiered at 16-hour, 28-hour, and 40-hour levels.

The dates, times, and tier descriptions for the fall training are as 
follows:

*Tier 1: Conflict Management for Self-Reflection (16 hours total)*

Tier 1 consists of 16 hours of conflict management training for those 
interested in learning more about their own orientation towards and 
engagement in conflict. The sessions provide tools and practice for 
engaging in conflict more efficiently and effectively. Topics include 
negotiation, active listening, giving and receiving feedback, cultural 
creation and frameworks, and personal conflict style.

*Tier 2: Conflict Management for Leadership (28 hours total)*

Conflict Management for Leadership, the second tier in the Conflict 
Management training, requires the successful completion of the entirety 
of Tier 1, and is an additional 12 hours of in-class time. Topics 
include conflict coaching, de-escalation, mindfulness in conflict, and 
boundary-setting when supporting others.

*Tier 3: Conflict Management for Advanced Practice (40 hours total)*

Tier 3 is the entire 40-hour training, which includes Conflict 
Management for Self-Reflection and Conflict Management for Leadership, 
and adds an additional 10 hours of formal mediation instruction and 
practice. Participants will be coached throughout the Advanced Practice 
sessions by professional mediators and coaches.

After completion of each successive tier, participants will receive a 
Certificate of Participation in recognition of their efforts; those 
completing the 40-hour training will also receive a Mediation 
certificate. Please note that all Tiers take the training together in 
the same cohort. Participants may opt to take successive tiers at 
different times. There is no charge for current students; a fee applies 
to all faculty, staff, and others affiliated with MIT. Tuition 
reimbursement is available for MIT employees. MIT community members will 
be given priority. Non-MIT members please inquire for training rates.
