Reclaiming Agency in Conflict

A self paced online course

What is this course about?

Oftentimes, in conflict, we don't show up the way we want. The best version of ourself checks out, and another version steps in. That can be frustrating, with feelings of stuckness in dynamics and patterns we may long to break out of. We may say things we later regret, we may not show up for ourselves in the way we'd like, or perhaps we uncomfortably prolong the situation by doing our best to avoid it. Conflict can be hard, and often, we're alone with it.

This course seeks to change that. With it, I want to help you show up the way you want in conflict - to act within your integrity, your values. I want you to know that the challenges you face are not yours alone, and that change is possible.

What's included?

This course is a culmination of my learnings to date, as a conflict facilitator, stress coach, and trainer. It's a mix of me giving some input, offering reflection questions and exercises to deepen the material, as well as conversations with other people in this field.

The course contains videos and audio recordings, transcripts, and written text, over the course of 7 modules. How long it takes to complete depends on how much time you put into it, and I would estimate it may take somewhere around 20 hours.

Who is it for?

This course is suitable for anyone interested in developing their conflict skills. It can be completed alone, and I would recommend finding a buddy to follow the course with. It is also very suitable for groups of people (e.g. a family, a friend group, a volunteer group, a work team) to follow together, with reflection questions aimed at examining the dynamics of the group.

This course alone will not fix your life. The work you put into it might.

Feedback on Reclaiming Agency in Conflict

“I have found the course to be such a holistic and generous approach to conflict, which takes into account the personal, relational and systemic. It makes room for a whole heap of complexity and nuance and tries to care for all of it, including the messy human stuff. All of it held by Jana in a container of compassion, and with invitations to stretch new muscles in conflict, while growing and drawing on inner and outer resources”. ~ El
