The World Peace Game is the brainchild of educator John Hunter. He describes it as “learning to live and work comfortably in the unknown.”

It's hard to imagine a more curiosity-centric undertaking. 

A three-dimensional, hands-on political simulation, the World Peace Game explores the interconnectedness of the global community through economic, social, and environmental crises and the imminent threat of war. The goal is to extricate all the countries from those dangerous circumstances and achieve global prosperity, with the least amount of military intervention.

And it’s played by 4th graders.

Why People Have Difficulty Resolving Conflict (AI Generated) - Keith Grossman

Conflict in the workplace is inevitable—but how you respond determines whether it becomes toxic or transformative.

In this dynamic workshop, Dr. Claude B. Kershner IV unpacks the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)—a powerful framework for understanding how different people approach conflict. You'll learn the five core conflict styles—Competing, Accommodating, Avoiding, Collaborating, and Compromising—and when to use each based on context, personality, and leadership goals.

This session goes beyond theory. We explore:

-Real-world examples of how conflict plays out on teams
-Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI)
-Why some people avoid conflict while others dominate it
-Gottman’s Four Horsemen and how they destroy—or repair—communication

Whether you're a manager, entrepreneur, educator, or emerging leader, this session will sharpen your self-awareness and equip you with practical strategies to turn conflict into growth.

🧠 Leadership isn’t about avoiding conflict—it’s about knowing how to navigate it. Watch now and transform how your team communicates and collaborates.
