  Conflict Resolution with Dr. Weeks
  The timing for Dr. Dudley Weeks' latest and cumulative work, THE CONFLICT PARTNERSHIP CATALYST PROCESS, could not be better. A quick glance at the media on any given day demonstrates a world in conflict from top to bottom. Families struggle with preventing collapse of their infrastructures through family violence or divorce due to the stress of unanticipated life events or financial downsizing in response loss of employment. Corporate structures and employees clash as opposing priorities challenge the survival of both the workplace and workforce here in the USA. International groups, public and private, are overwhelmed with one social, political, or environmental catastrophe coming on the heels of the previous one.
  Renowned political scientist, crisis resolution specialist, and author/trainer/consultant Dr. Dudley Weeks PhD, has worked in similar situations his whole career, moving by request from event to event: family counseling to helping with peace building of nations.
  Based on his own experience, Dr. Weeks developed his own unique process aimed at not only resolving a current situation but building a working relationship that would last into the future. It became known as the Conflict Partnership Catalyst Process (TM). As Dr. Weeks continued to use his six clear and doable conflict partnership steps more and more people asked to be trained to use and teach the method. (To date Dr. Weeks has trained over 80,000 people world wide.)
  The end result is a package of training materials and case studies related to this remarkable process that has proven to be a valuable useful asset across such a wide sphere of problem-solving. Now a cumulative new one volume book, An Alternative to Traditional Mediation: The Conflict Partnership Catalyst Process is available. It may be purchased on Amazon (print of Kindle formats), on demand from booksellers, or directly through the author at plscwkstly@gmail.com .
