Learn Conflict Resolution – from the Inside Out

Just the word conflict gets us ready for battle! Our mind races and our hearts pound faster. The best way to manage conflict is to de-escalate yourself first. A cooler head will prevail when you need to de-escalate the situation.

East Brunswick Public Library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) is hosting a special workshop called “Conflict Resolution – from the Inside Out” on Wednesday, May 14 at 7:00 pm with Dana Bernstein.

Bernstein is a conflict resolution coach and has created a comprehensive resource to help coaches help their clients manage conflict. Her focus in her work is on the "human connections," and it all starts with connecting with yourself first, re-align with your values and operate as your best self— even during a conflict! She is the author of It’s The Thought That Counts: Mastering the Art of YOU vs. You.

In this workshop, you will learn a simple three-step process, understand the reasons we get upset, and identify your best self! Your pre-work: where were you the most "you" ever (beach, out with friends, reading a book in the woods, etc.). This is the place where you had nowhere to go and nothing to prove.

Bernstein will be giving away five free copies of her book It’s The Thought That Counts: Mastering the Art of YOU vs. You to the first five attendees at the event.

Registration is recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. If you can’t attend this person in-person, you can join online via Zoom. Go to https://ilove.ebpl.org/adults/events/conflict-resolution-inside-out-hybrid/2025-05-14-230000-2025-05-15-001500 for more information.
