Approach The Magic of Conflict approach is a way of thinking and a way of living. It is an antidote to the intense personal and professional pressures of modern society: a set of simple techniques and powerful communication processes to help the individual master conflicts and turn frustration into fulfillment. From overcoming apathy to understanding how conflict can be an opportunity for choice and change, the approach turns mind-body integration principles into powerful tools. Struggle becomes success, conflict becomes strong relationships, and life at every level — home, office, personal, political — becomes a work of art. The MAGIC OF CONFLICT approach will enable you to: • Use conflict as an opportunity to grow and to change • Be calm and centered in any conflict • Deal with pressure effectively • Achieve balance in a frenzied life • Understand true power and how to cultivate it • Break through from mere success to quality and peak performance • Be tough on the issue, soft on the person in conflict • Turn an adversary into a partner • Chart a precise action plan for effective communication • Co-create viable solutions while honoring all sides A MAGIC OF CONFLICT presentation can be tailored to meet the needs of your organization in a variety of lengths ranging from keynote through two-day workshop formats The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them. Thomas Crum Stress-Busters A Workshop with Thomas Crum Turn Your Stress into Vitality and High Performance Why STRESS-BUSTERS? Unmanaged stress is a 21st century epidemic. Traffic jams, technological change, information overload, time-crunch, exhaustion, performance anxiety, emotional roller-coasters, relationship difficulties and other stressors can jeopardize our health, our creativity, our productivity, and our vitality. According to the American Institute of Stress, unmanaged stress costs the US $300 billion annually. Statistics indicate that 75-90% of doctor visits are stress related, and approximately one million workers are absent every day due to stress. Stress is a major economic and performance issue for all businesses. The STRESS-BUSTERS workshop will enable you to turn: 1. Stress into vitality 2. Pressure into power 3. Anxiety into relaxed awareness The STRESS-BUSTERS workshop will achieve four goals: 1. To provide participants with a clear, concise, and useable framework for understanding what stress is, based on the latest scientific evidence, and how to utilize stress to create greater health and performance. 2. To produce an individualized assessment for each person of his or her mental, physical, and emotional stress generators, reactions, tendencies. 3. To share specific tools, processes, and practices to support participants in managing and controlling each of their stress generators. 4. To establish an on-going support system to assure integration of the practices in their daily life. Turning stress into vitality is an opportunity for everyone. But it takes understanding, an attitudinal/ perspective change, and a consistent change in behavior over time. Thomas Crum’s STRESS-BUSTERS workshop will create the capacity for this to occur. You are a WOW of WOW’s! I love you and your greatly inspiring teaching techniques. I am deeply appreciative of your phenomenal talent, work and mastery. I want my entire team to take your training. Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of the #1 New York Times and USA Today Best Selling Series Chicken Soup for the Soul Tom, thank you very much! Everybody loved the conference, especially the day we spent with you. The whole company is talking about it. Michael Eisner, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company The Magic of Conflict with Thomas Crum is the most powerful work we have ever done in managing conflict. We continue to invite Tom back and find that the skills he teaches strongly support personal growth and can be integrated immediately, providing a more productive and positive regional team. Gail Hammack, Regional Manager, McDonald’s Corporation Truly great performance of individuals, teams and organizations requires clarity of purpose and building effective relationships. Tom’s work opens those doors. David Humphreys, CEO, Hicks Financial Solutions Tom Crum’s Magic of Conflict program stands head and shoulders above all others. It will give you a powerful new perspective on conflict. You’ll learn skills that can actually help you build relationships, even while taking an unpopular or opposing stand. Ken Blanchard, Ph.D, CEO, management guru and co-author of The One Minute Manager series JOURNEY TO CENTER September 12 – 16, 2005 Journey to Center is a five-day residential program offered annually by Thomas Crum and held high in the stunning Rocky Mountains during the fall colors. The program combines full-group sessions, smallgroup discussions, movement exercises, role playing, and storytelling to create a dynamic, entertaining, and enlightening exploration of the Magic of Conflict approach Tom Crum and his team have created a seminar unlike any other I’ve ever attended. The idea of using martial arts techniques to illustrate principles of communication and conflict management has a powerful and lasting effect on attendees. The mind-body connection coupled with the clarity of the illustrations he uses and the stories he tells, create a take-away which continually comes to mind in numerous business settings. This is without a doubt the most beneficial seminar I’ve attended in my 25+ years as a professional. Darwin Niekirk, Senior Director Business Management Development Coors Brewing Company If you can only attend one workshop this year I unconditionally recommend the Journey to Center. It can transform your life so that your personal professional relationships are more meaningful. Jim Goebelbecker, Senior Organizational Development Analyst, Danvers Savings Bank, Danvers, MA
