"Paul is one the most exceptional facilitators I know. He listens deeper than words being expressed. He is kind, gentle, challenging, accepting, and wise. Learning and experiencing the Core Values Negotiation method gave me a framework to understand life's inner and outer conflicts. I feel more equipped to face conflict in a calm and nonreactive way. I highly recommend learning about Core Values Negotiation if you want to gain tools to deepen and improve the quality of your relationships."

I went to Paul seminar with my wife on the 19th, I paid for both of us. You know how cheap I am, but it was the best spent money in a very, very long time.  I want to thank …you on behalf of me and my wife. It was very helpful for both of us.

"As a member of (Beloved Community) a Frederick group working to keep the spirit of Martin Luther King alive, we have been active throughout the year in creating a community of dialog between political conservatives and progressives.  This year I had the opportunity to work with Paul and found his system of identifying core values a remarkable foundation for listening, developing respect for people with different views, and building the foundation for authentic and practical conversations about matters of importance.  Although I have always considered myself good at conversation, I have learned much from Paul and his particular approach to listening, even to better understanding my own views.  I find myself simultaneously more grounded in my own core beliefs and able to understand and work with my progressive friends. I recommend Paul highly."

"I learned the Core Values Negotiation last year. It has helped me learn to facilitate without taking sides. And for conflicts that I am engaged in, it has helped me see the value of a differing belief. My relationship with my ex now comes from a place of strength, I can be present with her anger without retaliation or being wounded."   ~  Tim - Recently separated father of two"

​

"Paul guided me powerfully through the Core Values Negotiation process with skill and compassion. As a result, I became aware of what motivates me to bring out my passion about the healing work I do and to appreciate, even during a conflict with a peer, that he too, has a deep motivation. When I can see that, there is much more space created for co-operation between us and honoring of the gifts each of us brings.

   This has provided me with powerful clarity of purpose!"

       Steve Pollock, RPh, C-CST
