What distinguishes us from
all the other conflict gurus?
About Us
Before becoming a SWAT Hostage Negotiator, our founder and Chief Conflict Officer, Ryan Dunlap, was asked a pivotal question by another negotiator. "What are you most likely to do under pressure that will cause a bad situation to become worse? How are you most likely to get someone killed?"
​
That question became central to our coaching and training programs and inspired the most important question we ask leaders in our programs; how are you most likely to hurt someone in your care?
​
With a focus on intrapersonal conflict management and personal accountability, our individual-first process of addressing conflict within individuals is designed around one truth; our ability to resolve high-stakes conflicts with others hinges on our ability to regulate our own emotions and behaviors under pressure.
​
Informed by countless high-stakes interrogations, negotiations, and interventions, we impart proven strategies to leaders looking to make more informed decisions under pressure and improve how they lead themselves and others through conflict.
Our Mission
We're on a mission to help leaders get their 'ish together. From tarnished rapport to hellish attitudes to selfish behavior, we are committed to helping leaders build safe and responsive organizations and lead incredibly connected teams by building their conflict competency.
