The Magic of Conflict is designed to help you:

• Uncover conflict's true purpose as well as the myths that have masked that purpose in present day society.
• Explore the true nature and value of conflict.
• Replace your knee-jerk reactions to conflict with a discovering attitude that adds value to your life.

This book by Tom Crum features humorous and poignant stories on the exploration of centered and uncentered states. Whether in Southeast Asia or his backyard in Aspen, Tom finds adventures that constantly amaze, entertain, and enlighten.

Journey to Center will help you:

• Recognize the opportunity in each moment to get centered.
• Train in centeredness, a mind/body state of increased calm and heightened awareness.
• Practice techniques in centering which help prevent the build-up of stress and conflict.
• Learn to honor emotions while operating out of purpose and vision.

Three Deep Breaths provides a simple technique that you can use, no matter how busy you are, to transform tough situations into positive, energizing experiences. It is a mind/body technique that combines the "cognitive-restructuring" capability of the brain (the ability to change our attitudes and perceptions of the world) with the calmness and presence of an aligned, centered state of being.

Thomas Crum illustrates this radically simple technique through the story of Angus, who is struggling to break through the negative habits that lead to anger, exhaustion, and poor performance. By working with our breath, by being aware of it and using it as a focusing tool, we can open up a whole new world of possibility.

This attractive book, with a forward written by Mark Victor Hansen, author of Chicken Soup for the Soul, will make a great gift for your family and friends.

In Three Deep Breaths, learn to:

• Create powerful and fulfilling relationships.
• Focus on proper breathing.
• Find deep relaxation which brings balance to your autonomic nervous system.
• Mindfully choose your perspectives.
• Practice mind/body exercises which can be far more valuable than any symptom-treating pill.

Your struggle with life's challenges can change in an instant. Unlikely Teachers is Judy Ringer's first book--a practical tool to help you generate more power, presence, and flow in your relationships and your life.

Much more than a "how-to" book on conflict management, Unlikely Teachers offers personal stories, concrete practices, and real life examples on how to manage something more important--yourself. It will serve you well as a stand-alone resource, and is extremely useful as pre- and post-workshop support.

Turn Enemies Into Allies provides a way of working with clashing employees that is deliberate and systematic, informed by Judy Ringer's expertise in conflict and communication skills and a decades-long practice in Aikido, discovered early on by working with her mentor Thomas Crum.

Turn Enemies Into Allies presents a coaching intervention process for employees in conflict - a four-phase guide for managers, to:

• Acquire the skill and confidence to help employees in conflict get back to a balanced and professional working relationship.
• Restore control and peace of mind when conflict occurs.
• Encourage leadership through conflict competence.

The book will help you coach conflicting employees back to a professional, effective working relationship, while simultaneously changing their lives for the better.
