Testimonials

“My experience with the conflict resolution workshop hosted by Yeshim was extremely powerful, both personally and professionally. Her approach was adaptive to the group's needs, and she brought the concepts to life by sharing real stories that resonated with her audience. Her communication style was candid with kindness, not holding back the truth to ensure we were learning with sharing feedback in an incredibly supportive manner. Her ability to make complex topics easily understandable and transferable to practice was incredibly beneficial for me. If you have an individual, group, team, community, or organization struggling to find its way forward, I would highly recommend Yeshim and her talents with the ability to host an open dialogue space.”

"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."

“Yeshim is an exceptional facilitator. She brings genuine care to the room and is able to expertly adapt her approach to meet the needs of the group. Yeshim is deeply knowledgeable in her area of expertise and was the highlight of the course for me because of her curious and attentive nature. I would recommend her without hesitation for other engagements”

“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.”

“Yeshim's training was very enlightening. I particularly enjoyed the interactions she facilitated with the other participants. This gave an very welcomed insight into the challenges faced by others and a peak into how this could affect a country like mine. Her training challenged our understanding of the content and our grasp of our own situations showing the commonalities amongst nations and regions.”

“I am grateful for such a rewarding short course with Yeshim. I have gained a deeper understanding of gender analysis through the human rights risk perspective, as well as the fundamentals of strategic gender advocacy planning. I would recommend this course to any development practitioner eager to learn and deepen their knowledge on gender planning through an innovative pedagogical method rolled out with professionalism and empathy!”

-Mounirah M. Bissiri

Gender Inequality Officer,

UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, Chad

“At our session with Yeshim, I learned that life is very much about conflict and how we can all do our part to manage and negotiate an outcome that resolves the conflict. Her personal touch, with stories and examples of a person truly committed to solving problems was very beneficial, for making the world a better place. Yeshim's leadership style was patient, graceful, elegant but if there was also ’tiger’ under the soft shell that helped her lead these hectic meetings."

-Dale Monnin
Founding Partner,

DRUM CAFÉ, USA

“From an educational perspective my time learning with Yeshim Harris was incredibly valuable. We worked with her both in a group setting as well as individual meetings. Her work with conflict resolution provided great insight into the stages of conflict as well as how your demeanor can help the resolution process or fan the flames. I plan to continue learning from Yeshim on an informal basis.”

-Tamara Norris

EPWORTH UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, Ohio

“Yeshim's methodology and style of facilitation was truly enlightening for me. Her program provided empirical insights into creating more inclusive and equitable strategies for development. I feel empowered and well-equipped to make a positive impact on gender equality in my work space, community and beyond. This training has certainly been a transformative experience that I highly recommend to all aspirants!"

"Yeshim provided participants with a range of practical tools that can be used to deal with complex issues strategically. Yeshim’s engaging and participatory manner kept us glued to our seats and allowed us to freely exchange ideas and ask questions, learning from her and the other participants."

-Anneke Meerkotter,

Executive Director

SOUTHERN AFRICA LITIGATION CENTRE, South Africa

“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.”
