Make Talk Work®
Bookmarks
The Make Talk Work® bookmark project consists of 24 bookmarks with tips on effective ways to manage talk with others. The bookmarks have been designed to provide the public with simple messages which draw on complex dispute resolution principles and processes. Regardless of the processes or techniques used by dispute resolvers, all dispute resolvers help to make talk work between and among individuals and groups. Since 9/11, the CUNY DRC has spearheaded a variety of public awareness educational projects as part of its Make Talk Work® initiative. All of the projects have been partnerships between the academic community and dispute resolution professionals. For the bookmark project, the partnership included the CUNY DRCand dispute resolvers in NYC with graphics designed by Susan Spivack and funding by the JAMS Foundation.

Monthly NYC Roundtable
NYC-DR Monthly Breakfast Meeting at John Jay College
Date and Time:
First Thursday of each month, 8am
The Association for Conflict Resolution of Greater New York (ACRGNY) will be sponsoring the next monthly breakfast which was started by the CUNY DRC in 2001.
Thursday, October 2, 2008
Time: 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Speaker: Consensus founder and managing partner Michael Rosenthal, and Zachary Metz, Consensus' Director of Peacebuilding.
Consensus uses a mixture of strategies to help groups rethink their approaches to negotiation, difficult conversations, conflict and each other, incorporating tools such as interest-based negotiation training, Open Space Technology, Public Conversations Project dialogue processes, conflict assessment, mediation, and conflict coaching.
Michael will speak about the origins and development of Consensus, an international company that uniquely bridges corporate negotiation training and coaching with international peace-building leadership. Zach will speak about Consensus' conflict resolution and peace-building training in conflict zones, including the blending of training with large group dialogue processes in regions of deadly violence. He will highlight a recent international initiative conducted by Consensus.
As the head of the firm's Consulting practice, Michael consults to large and small companies in a variety of industries. His client engagements have included $200+ million acquisitions on behalf of publicly-owned companies, negotiations of private placements and strategic relationships on behalf of emerging and mid-sized organizations, and contract negotiations on behalf of individuals, including performing and fine artists.
Zach has worked in numerous hotspots of violent conflict around the world, including recently in Iraq, Lebanon, East Timor, and Northern Ireland. He is the former Director of Education and Training for Columbia University's Center for International Conflict Resolution at the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). Previously, he directed a dispute resolution center in Washington state, where he led mediation trainings inside a maximum security prison for prison inmates.
