With Next Element's Leading Out of Drama program people are alerted and helped with necessary skills to handle conflicts. More importantly, LOD turns conflicts into opportunities to create positive results.

Fascinating, valuable, inspiring and ready to use. All in one training. As coach, mediator and trainer I thought I knew already a lot regarding communication and conflicts. LOD with Nate Regier opened a new door with immediate success the next day when I used it during an evaluation at a business meeting.
