What if our most difficult interactions turned out to be teachers in disguise?
Most of us go about thinking that life happens to us, that conflict is a negative event, and that our reactions are caused and not under our conscious control.
“Unlikely Teachers” suggests that life events, troublesome people, and difficult problems can be gifts to help us strengthen relationships, open communication, and invent life in more purposeful ways.
In this experiential workshop based on my book, Unlikely Teachers: Finding the Hidden Gifts in Daily Conflict, participants discover how their most challenging situations and people can become their teachers.
By changing ourselves, we move from feeling “acted upon” to becoming more conscious actors in our life and work.
Come prepared to learn, explore, participate, and have fun.
To explore conflict and difficult people as openings to learning, growth, and conscious behavior.
Content is taken from the text, Unlikely Teachers: Finding the Hidden Gifts in Daily Conflict, by Judy Ringer, which makes a perfect pre- or post- workshop reinforcement.
It is always a great pleasure to work with you and to be reminded to stay centered and grounded. Your wisdom has helped each of us whenever we have met with you over these past two years. The effects of these times together ripple out into our school and home lives in so many ways.

I offer experiential, interactive training, coaching, and keynote presentations on conflict, communication skills, and creating your life and work on purpose. Utilizing the martial art Aikido, I help you change reactive mental and behavioral habits and increase options. I’ve written a book and two CDs to support your practice.
Ki (pronounced “key”) is Japanese for universal energy or life force; it’s the central syllable in Aikido and the symbol you see in my logo.
