Testimonials
"Yeshim helped me clarify the nuances of conflict, the foundation of conflict, and even potential benefits from conflict that I perhaps would not have considered as beneficial.
Her workshop helped me become more "aware" and "intentional" about how I and react and respond to conflict. I would recommend Yeshim to teams, groups and organizational cultures that encounter stakeholder resistance and cultural settings that experience consistent conflict based on perspectives that are influenced by media, social media or even experienced extended periods of conflict without the ability or presence of negotiation."

“I feel honored to have been able to spend the time with Yeshim in London and I look forward to staying connected. The workshop was an eye-opening exploration of the human experience of conflict and people living in disconnection. You can’t hurt someone else, without hurting yourself as well. In the workshop we learned ways of helping people see that even the smallest connection through conflict can grow to a place of strength and healing.”

“The knowledge and skills acquired at Yeshim’s course were transformational to. It is worth noting that this course came soon after the August 9th 2022 General election in our country in which my colleagues and I played a central role as election managers.
Problem solving skills acquired at this course have made it possible to enrich our Post Election Evaluation report, a key milestone in the electoral cycle in Kenya.
This course is unique in delivery, rich and current in content. It is a MUST course especially to electoral management boards staff around the globe, given the divisive nature of elections.”
