Grounded Resilience gives you the ability to:
-
Work through conflicts without losing your cool or shutting down
-
See a problem and know how to resolve it, rather than amplifying or running away
Grounded Resilience makes your people or organization 10 x more effective wherever they’re operating in the world.
We’ve learned so much in all our education, but no one taught us how to really be effective in our relations with other people: how to handle anger and discord; how to repair when a system is broken; how to untangle what’s gotten tangled. Any change organization needs their people ready with these skills.

What will you gain in the Grounded Resilience training?
-
Inner Change: Deep, effective practices to handle internal stress and reactivity
-
Outer Change: Empowering, relational skills to address conflicts and talk across differences and divisions
-
Practice! Hands on experience using what they’re learning right then and there
-
Immediate application. People can put these skills to work right away, at home, at work, in the community.
You’ll engage in lots of exercises and practice, giving you a different experience of communication and conflict, so that you leave with more skills to manage difficult situations, understand yourself and others, manage teams, improve your relationships and work dynamics, and interact more skillfully and with greater ease.
We have held 8 Free Resilience workshops beginning March 10th for USAID workers, and continuing several each month. We've recruited and trained 150 Assistant Trainers, therapists and consultants giving freely of their time to help people in this crisis.
This work is what we do:
Mobilizing quickly to support communities in need, giving people a way to take action together to help, seeing the humanity of others, and providing new skills in Grounded Resilience.
We also train people in the Grounded Resilience model to create a deep bench of skillful people ready to join us in stepping forward to help.

"We hired CGA to lead a workshop on conflict resolution for our team of outreach workers. Jen was very thoughtful in crafting the workshop to suit our specific needs and interests, and deftly adapted the agenda in the moment to suit questions and scenarios that came up during the training. Our team reported feeling much more confident dealing with conflict in their personal and professional lives, de-escalating challenging situations that occur when doing community organizing, and they were eager for another training to go more in depth! I highly recommend Jen, her background and talent is perfect for helping your team of organizers work smarter."

Grounded Resilience & G.R.O.W
Challenges, stress, tensions, and conflict are inevitable in life and work. How do you meet those challenges at work and in your personal lives? How much resilience do you have to fall back on when stress and conflict occurs? The Grounded Resilience Training provides learnable skills and practices merging the best of organizational consulting tools with the best of specific therapy skills to increase your interpersonal effectiveness.
We teach specific learnable skills that give people the tools to be more effective and to manage both the tensions and challenges, and develop relational intelligence and resilience. We draw on methods like Nonviolent Communication, Mirroring, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic practices, methods in which we are trained. Our goal is to help people and organizations amplify their impact and effectiveness.
More than a leadership development workshop, we are offering a transformative training in Grounded Resilience that brings healing, awareness, and resilience from the center out across three layers – healing people’s internal parts, interpersonal relationships, and community and organizational ecosystems.
Grounded Resilience Training and GROW (Grounded Resilience for Organizers Workshop) are empowering organizers, directors, leaders, and every day people to develop the practices they need to support interpersonal effectiveness and sustainable action.
