“From Conflict to “Proflict”: Level Up Your Leadership”

Contrary to the belief of most leaders, conflict is not a dirty word. It is vital to the health of every relationship. And when managed well, it can lead to increased employee retention, loyalty and engagement. When you shift from negative thinking about conflict to the positive benefits, you can improve both organizational harmony and bottom line profits.

Join Together: Highlighting the Power of Our Similarities

This high-energy, motivating, restorative presentation is focused on bringing people of all types, doing all jobs in an organization, together. In a world that is seemingly filled with more and more division, bad news and negative energy creeping into the work place, extreme (often unknown) sensitivities people are finding it difficult to get motivated at work to meet their potential. Unifying the force and harnessing the power of individuals to help them see the strength in fundamental similarities humanizes, humbles and complements diversity education. This presentation will help your culture restart, re-energize, find the good in people and work together in a way that will overcome the obstacles our society is currently facing.

David Gerber“I am NOT the Problem: The Role of Self-Awareness When Managing Conflict”

Let’s face it: conflict usually begins with a finger pointing across the table. While disagreements definitely take two to tango, we need to own our part in addressing difficult situations. By “putting on our own oxygen mask first,” we can leverage our default reactions to conflict and avoid emotional discord. Dave Gerber, the Conflict Healer, will teach you his proprietary “Sources of Conflict” methodology that will help you walk a mile in someone’s shoes without tripping over your own relationship triggers.

"We believe our benefits are the direct result of Dave's passion for education and training, and sincere interest in student and success of the project. We will continue to utilize Dave for future projects aimed to increase revenue and productivity, improve communication, and reduce our chance of loss and potential lawsuits." — Don Beyer | Don Beyer Automotive Group, Owner and President

“Found Money: Developing Strategic Conflict Management Systems to Save and Raise Revenue”

Unaddressed workplace conflict may be costing you millions. Dave’s proprietary “Conflict Calculator” will reveal the shocking bottom line costs that are being thrown away as a result of daily discord. Learn the systems and tools that will convert lost conflict dollars into found revenue streams. Then repurpose those dollars into financial incentives and investment into your greatest assets… your people.

"Dave Gerber immediately made an impression on our staff. His motivational style and ability to simplify internal conflict within business development was impressive, effective and original!" — Chris Waddell | CFP, Division Manager of Waddell and Reed

His fascinating story will inspire you to conquer hidden fears about conflict and challenge you to move your life forward with confidence. Learn the secrets to breaking through by leveling up!
