Consensus' philosophy about adult education is that people learn through a combination of action and reflection. Consequently our training format is highly interactive, and is based on a minimum of frontal lecturing, with emphasis on group participation, exercises, customized client-specific simulations, and facilitated discussions and analyses.

Our workshops are tailored to meet each audience’s specific needs. This includes:

• employing customized case-studies and role-plays that reflect the audience's professional context and real-life challenges;
• creating a syllabus that matches the time-constraints of the client;
• adding or substituting content to address the specific challenges faced by participants; and
• offering one-facilitator and two-facilitator options.

As opposed to training generalists, all of our workshops focus on building consensus among different parties. As such, our repertoire is comprised of the following offerings:

Consensus’ Negotiation Workshops teach frameworks and strategies for reaching win-win agreements in which all of one's needs are met and the relationship with the negotiation counterpart is protected

Consensus' Conflict Resolution Workshops teach frameworks and techniques for resolving conflicts, both those that one is a party to and those that one has to mediate

Consensus Communication Workshops teach frameworks and methodologies for engaging in challenging conversations, such that they yield constructive outcomes

We also offer fully-customized workshops, upon request.
