I can remember when Dr. King was killed.
settings
My mother sobbed and my dad looked profoundly sad. They had moved my sister and I into an all white neighborhood three years before his death and we were dealing with a lot. My parents, my mother in particular, knew that the best education was being given to white children and they were determined that we were going to get it right along with them.
My parents, like so many black parents, saw education as the way to get the life that white people were allowed to live. It was a huge change for all of us with many sacrifices and frankly, a great deal of pain. However, my parents really wanted it to work, because they believed that we, their daughters, would eventually live in a country where racism no longer existed.
settings
They were wrong.
My children won’t even exist in that world unless we all learn how racism works and affects absolutely every part of how this society functions and then we dismantle it. The majority of People of Color already know this, though many still have a lot to learn.
White people, you are way behind and it’s time to catch up. I need you to break the culture of silence around racism. I need you to recognize that being a nice person is not the same thing as being an ally and being nice is not enough.
Allies don’t just give themselves the title, they do the hard work of admitting to themselves that they cannot see the truth.
Allies know that they must check the privilege they have of being able to put off learning how to do the work of confronting their own conscious and unconscious bias and do it now.
Allies know that the “nicest” thing that they can do is seek to learn from People of Color who have been doing the work of dismantling racism and bring home the skills and do the horribly uncomfortable work of teaching these skills to their children. They do this because not only is it right, but they know that POC have little choice in when we teach our children about this because the world confronts our children with it at a very young age.

As I watch the events happening today...

And see the response of white parents in particular who want to have the difficult conversations around racism with their children, I know I have knowledge and experience that can be helpful.
I have always maintained that conversations around racism and diversity are some of the most difficult conversations we can have and often lead to both internal and external conflict.
settings
Having difficult conversations without using the foundational skills...
settings
for engaging in and resolving conflicts often leave your children afraid, confused, quiet and unwilling to share their true thoughts and feelings.
My 19 year old son and I have put together two separate and powerful 2-hour workshops that teach you how to use some of the foundational skills of conflict resolution to engage in those difficult conversations around racism with your children.
settings
To be clear this is for adults who want to engage in these difficult conversations with White children.
In our family, my sons learned conflict resolution skills starting at the age of 2 and both were facilitating workshops with me and on their own at an early age. We also had wonderful, meaningful conversations regularly in our household and I used a lot of conflict resolution techniques in order to have some of the more difficult ones.
We will be sharing some of those with you in these LIVE Workshops.

Who Are We?
settings
I am Lynne Maureen Hurdle, a Mom, a communication expert and conflict resolution strategist, facilitator, speaker, and leadership coach with over 40 years of experience in blending the connection between communication, conflict and culture into my unique style of engagement for leaders. I am the author of the best seller, Closing Conflict for Leaders.
Prevention, Intervention and Transformational Conflict Resolution are all at the heart of my work. My expertise is in engaging my clients with creative processes designed to create dialogue and teach skills that can be used in the most difficult leadership situations. The belief that helping people transform their lives begins with transforming your own, led to my well received TEDxWomen talk entitled, “The Weight of Hate.”
I created The Soul of Conflict Summit, a groundbreaking online forum designed to create deep dialogue around conflict, old wounds and healing.
I am straight forward and use an engaging approach in my interactive workshops, keynotes, and coaching programs. I teach leaders the skills to engage skillfully, confidently, and powerfully in everything from daily conversations to the most difficult conflict situations.
I passionately write about Breaking Culture: Conflict and Cultural Breakthroughs for Psychology Today. I have had the privilege to deliver my unique trainings, workshops and deep coaching to leaders from Harlem to Hong Kong and from the South Bronx to South Africa. I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and my special Lynnergy to every client.

And this young man is my youngest son, Justin Nai’im Hurdle-Price conflict resolution trainer, facilitator and speaker who officially started on the trainer circuit at the age of 10. That doesn’t count all the years in the room watching me work and taking his turn to answer questions and deliver some powerful messages. But I’ll let him tell you himself.
Hi. I’m Justin and I am currently a college student. I officially started facilitating workshops for young people and adults at the age of 10. That’s when I was actually employed and made money delivering workshops in schools and for non-profits and at national conflict resolution conferences all over the country.
I have worked as a trainer coach for youth from all different backgrounds, spoken on panels and helped design workshops for parents, teachers and young people. I love the work and I love to see people doing the work and using the skills that I teach.
As a proud African American male, I have participated in sit-ins, walk-outs, protests and solidarity days. I grew up with a mom and dad who spent a lot of time talking with us, listening to us and encouraging us to use our talents to facilitate workshops from an early age.
I bring wisdom, enthusiasm and honesty to every workshop, training and speaking engagement.
