Time management, stress management, conflict management – all misnomers. We can no more manage time, stress or conflict than we can manage the tides or seasons or the course of our beautiful planet as it hurtles through space. The best we can do is manage ourselves in relationship to those matters.

At times this self-management may take the form of positively influencing others to act, at times it might involve the implementation of unique time-style techniques, at other times it may mean adaptation and sometimes it may even require acceptance. But all of the tools and knowledge presented in this ground-breaking course are designed to help you achieve your full potential.

This course is about improving your relationships at all levels, influencing others in powerful new ways, and reducing conflict. It’s about getting people to say yes to you—to your ideas, your proposals, and your goals. It is also about understanding who you are and those you hope to influence. And most importantly, it is about developing highly effective and yet decidedly ethical tactics for achieving “win-win” solutions.
