Resolving Conflict.
Resolving Conflict.
Communication
Studies show that lack of communication is the #1 reason why people divorce.(1) In addition to the breakdown in the family unit, our inability to communicate well effects our workplace and business success. SIS International Research discovered that 70% of small to mid-size businesses claim that ineffective communication is their primary problem. Communication issues can be very costly to a company. (2) As difficult as our one on one and small group communication is, our communication between countries, where language and cultural difference abound, are even more critical. Our inability to resolve conflicts in this arena can have devastating consequences for all of us.
Marshall Rosenberg
Psychologist and the creator of Nonviolent Communication, a communication process that helps people to exchange the information necessary to resolve conflicts and differences peacefully. He is the founder and Director of Educational Services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication, an international non-profit organization.

Iran Loves Israel
“As an Iranian in response to lovely care of people in Israel, I made this video to show and tell you Israelis that WE LOVE YOU TOO & WE WISH YOU PEACE ALL THE TIME”
Social Media
Ronny Edry: Power to the People. When Israeli graphic designer Ronny Edry shared a poster on Facebook he created about love — not war — between Israelis and Iranians, the world instantly responded back — over 2 million times! Watch a short video about Ronny’s poster and the power that social media has over governments when people unite. There is hope to change the course of our Middle East dialogue, conflict and potential world destruction when people, rather than governments, address our problems with real solutions.
