[BIPOC Leaders] Conflict Resolution with Power and Privilege in Mind (2-Part Series)

This is a multi-day offering. Please make sure you can attend all dates before registering and that you are familiar with our cancellation policy.

DAY 1: Tuesday, July 28th, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, July 30th, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

Interpersonal conflict isn’t a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. Most of us avoid conflict, forgetting that on the other side of tension we can often find transformation.

When we get into conflict with each other (at our organizations or in movement spaces), we often do so without taking time and space beforehand to slow down and explore our own relationship to conflict—namely, what drives our reactions and how our approach to conflict relates to power and privilege. This is a space to learn how to shift power dynamics by employing communication skills like listening, inquiry, and empathy.

Who is this training for?

This is a space for participants who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color

We hope that these trainings will invite BIPOC leaders to build power by building community, share more honestly about the challenges they face, and deepen their learning by sharing time and space with their peers. For white participants, we ask that you respect the intention of this space by registering for versions of these offerings that don’t have BIPOC-only in the title: www.compasspoint.org/workshops.

This is a space for people who work at nonprofit organizations and/or in social justice movement spaces who want to explore approaches to interpersonal conflict resolution and develop an approach that reflects their values.

In this online workshop, you will:

1. Learn five Conflict Resolution styles and how they intersect with positional power and social privilege  
2. Identify how you want to be your “best self” in conflict
3. Build on your abilities of listening, inquiry, and empathy as skills for working through conflict
