CoResolve-Deep Democracy Foundations for Leaders & Facilitators is designed for leaders, managers, facilitators and coaches who find themselves working with interpersonal, team/group and client dynamics. Based on the foundation of Lewis Deep Democracy, this course gives leaders and facilitators the theoretical background and experiential learning opportunities that they need to begin using the powerful tools of the Lewis Deep Democracy in their day-to-day work environments and processes.
CoResolve training will increase your capacity to work with complexity and succeed in turbulent times by helping you understand group/relationship dynamics and by offering practical tools for working with differences in a group and by increasing your conflict literacy to turn destructive conflict into creative tension. This program provides knowledge and practical tools in the following areas:

- Harness the power of collective intelligence by enabling the most quiet participants to find their voice and express their views.
- Create safety in large or small groups for difficult conversations to take place.

- Understanding Group Dynamics –
- Read the dynamics of a group, pick up on the early signs of resistance and emerging conflict and act in a timely manner to reduce tension.
- Understand the obstacles to good communication and build the foundations for shared understanding.
- Observe group dynamics that exist beyond individuals and manage them for more effective teamwork.
- Begin and end meetings with a powerful way to connect the group and get a handle on what is happening in the room.
