Sherry Ray specializes in CONFLICT RESOLUTION, sharing her insights and methodology through speaking engagements, workshops and personal development coaching. She thrives in helping business leaders understand the connection between conflict and stress. What is surprising to most leaders is finding they create much of the workplace conflict. Sherry’s passion is teaching individuals how to find clarity while defusing a situation for themselves and others.

Several recent studies show that 24-60% of management time and energy is taken up by dealing with conflict issues. Another study, by CPP Inc. – publishers of the Myers-Briggs Assessment and the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument – found that in 2008, U.S. employees spent 2.8 hours per week dealing with conflict. This amounts to approximately $359 billion in paid hours (based on average hourly earnings of $17.95).

Do you know how much time, energy, productivity and money is lost trying to figure what is going on at work or home? How long has this been going on? What is the toll on your health and the well being of your organization? What would your day be like if conflict were easy to recognize and diffuse at its source? How much more time would you have? How would your stress levels change? How much happier would you and the people around you be if conflict were at a minimum? Imagine you, your family and the people you work with having the tools to nip conflict in the bud.
