“I thought Conflict Jujitsu was incredible. Not just the content, but the way Dave presents it is really engaging. He’s an incredible educator and is able to use a variety of ways to get his point across to people.
Dave has such authentic love for people that no matter what he’s teaching he’s going to bring a lot of love and heart to it. I encourage anyone to attend his seminars because you will grow as a person in the grand scheme of things.”

“I have had the pleasure of attending Conflict Jujitsu and cannot say enough about it. Dave Dornan’s energy and ability to engage the students is truly amazing. The class not only gave me tools to deal with conflict in my professional life but also valuable tools for my personal life.
After attending this class you will see conflict as an opportunity for deeper relationships with clients as well as family and friends. I highly recommend taking this class, you will not regret it.”

“Conflict Jujitsu changed my life. The strategies, dialogues, and lessons that Dave teaches have had an incredibly positive impact on me and the people in my life. Literally every day I employ something that Dave has taught me — whether it be at home or at the office. Conflict Jujitsu showed me ‘user friendly’ ways to have hard conversations, and move relationships to an even better place. One of the benefits I didn’t anticipate is how his lessons would be so helpful for me as a dad and as a husband. What he teaches is multi-purpose and can be used in all parts of your life.”

“I have taken the course twice myself… the first time on my own. I felt so strongly about the content that I arranged a Conflict Jujitsu session for my leadership team including but not limited to our chief of police, fire chief, city attorney, economic development officer, our city clerk, people from our various utility offices and others. The session was well worth the investment of the precious time of these very busy leaders.”

“If you are on the fence or considering taking Conflict Jujitsu I’m just going to say ‘take the class!’ I’ve taken the Conflict Jujitsu class a few times and I have to say every time I take the class I have a different take away from the lessons that Dave shares. Dave does an amazing job of giving you tools, tips and strategies in handling conflict not only within your business but also having a more harmonious, tranquil lifestyle. For me there is no dollar amount that can be placed on that.”

“I loved Dave’s Conflict Jujitsu class. Dave is engaging, funny, masterful as a teacher and he is authentic. He really brought his a-game and became a part of the group. I love the breakout sessions we had so we could practice and get back together. Most importantly, I’ve used the information, tools and ideas professionally and personally. The class was worth every moment and then some. I can’t wait to take his next seminar.”
Randy Payne
“Two days just went like that. Dave is so personal, he is one of you. He challenges people to pick something that is important to them. He wants you to engage and challenge yourself to learn. It really opens up people’s minds the way he presents information. He is presenting it from his heart and with his presence and it’s really an amazing experience. I would strongly encourage you to participate in anything that Dave presents.”
“I worked as a program manager for a major California utility company for many years. In that role, I was responsible for ensuring that all of our employees received training and development that complemented their job development, in addition to coping with the vicissitudes of life. I had the opportunity to interact with vendors and corporate program leads on a national level. After a while, many of the programs offered mimicked each other. The one program that stood out above the rest was “Conflict Jujitsu”. I say this because it touched me on a personal level. The program gave me life tools that I work with to this day. What I found remarkable about the program was how it brought out empathy in many of our employees. The passion displayed by Dave Dornan in teaching the concept goes above and beyond any other corporate program I have ever encountered. The lessons learned in this program stay with you beyond the class session… To this day, I find myself still “going to the balcony” when dealing with conflict or stressful situations. I wholeheartedly endorse “Conflict Jujitsu” as a program that is unforgettable.”
“I was asked to develop and launch a Leadership Academy for first and second line supervisors – about 325 people. I had done this at two previous nuclear power plants so I had a good working model from which to start. Our goals included providing highly technical people with supervisory skills, an understanding of human behavior, and an understanding of self by the student.
Our parent company had for many years employed Dave Dornan to conduct classes in conflict management and suggested we include Dave in our curriculum. As part of the Leadership Academy Dave taught a two day course entitled “Conflict Jujitsu.” Dave’s class regularly received the highest marks and most positive feedback from our students…
Dave’s concepts, which he delivers in an expert fashion for understanding and retention, are all about human relationships and making those inevitable bumps a little bit smoother. What Dave teaches will help your employees at work as well in their away from work relationships.”
“Dave, Living from the Inside Out was wonderfully ‘you.’ You poured so much of yourself into every moment, and it was a joy to be part of two great days of big ideas, challenges, laughs and a few tears! Congratulations on a life well-lived thus far. This next chapter of your life is obviously full of passion: such a gift, both to you and for you to share with others.
I have known for some time now I have work to do! Being primarily CS, it’s easy to fill all my time with my “to do” list and ignore my “to be” list. Years of focusing too much on details, details has relegated my inner CR self to the back burner. Thanks again for all you do, friend.”
“Dave Dornan’s Conflict Jujitsu class comes highly recommended. Not only has his class helped me in my business but it has helped me with my family and friends. I personally gained more from Dave’s class then I did from conflict resolution classes in college. We will all face conflict in our life and Dave’s detailed yet simple strategies will help you build relationships, trust and professionalism. All should take this class. ”
