DCA DIVORCE CONFLICT COACH™

Conflict Resolution Skills That Work!


High Conflict Divorce. Those 3 little words can strike fear in the heart of any client.  Learn to help your clients manage conflict and avoid some of the the legal bills and emotional stress - even if they're divorcing a high-conflict person!


Everyone is talking about high-conflict divorce, but is all that conflict necessary?  Every divorce involves fear and that means some degree of conflict, however, our client's approach to managing that conflict can make the difference between escalation and resolution, helplessness and confidence, emotional reactions and strategic decisions.

Conflict coaching is a set of skills and strategies to support clients’ ability to engage in, manage, or productively resolve conflict.  As a DCC, learn to help clients reduce the cost and emotional impact of divorce and co-parenting.

The benefits of conflict coaching in divorce include:

🔸    More confidence and better decision making

🔸    Lower overall divorce costs

🔸    Improved negotiation and emotional skills

🔸    More credibility with court professionals

🔸    Shorter time to settlement and better outcomes

🔸    More manageable, positive co-parenting

Not all divorce conflict can be avoided, but you can help your client choose not to add fuel to the fire, to de-escalate when they are able, and to present themselves in the best possible light in the event of a trial or custody conflict.

The Divorce Conflict Coach Training Intensive at Divorce Coaches Academy is the first of its kind, specifically designed for the professional, practicing Divorce Coach in their role as an alternative dispute resolution specialist.

Students who successfully complete the training will receive a certificate of completion, 15 CEU's, and the right to use the DCC designation.

Conflict Coaching Works!

One Student's Success Story

Thank you ladies! I love what you’re doing with DCA and the podcast and you’ve made me a “raving fan” of your work.

I survived my own high conflict divorce, personally attended parenting coordination for a year and took high conflict parenting courses, have been a voracious consumer of conflict reduction resources for 5 years and a Brené Brown and Bill Eddy fangirl. I'm CDC certified, have been practicing for over 2 years and I specialize in the juicy combo of high conflict/complex asset/high net worth. It’s work that I absolutely love and the incredible bucket-filling silver lining of my own divorce.

Today I got the most satisfying result to date when my client called to report her transformational win in her questioning. I can say with certainty that your training was the difference maker. I wanted to pass on with gratitude that the success my client and I feel today should also be felt by you both. I have been trying to reach this client for ages, to help her find an inroad to her power, to teach tools to soothe “Amy”, to guide her to having her breakthrough pivot. I felt like I was close but never quite there with her.

Your course not only gave me some new understanding and new tools but it gave me the shot in the arm that I needed to trust myself to push just enough when I was starting to doubt my abilities. This client was referred by the top litigator in our market after 3 years of difficulty and her lawyer felt like she was out of options to support her. I’ve worked with her through 2 years of complicated proceedings and was starting to lose faith too. I feared that an important referral source might lose faith in my work as well.

I’m not sure how much tougher the work can get but am sure that your course, your shared wisdom and your guidance turned this potential confidence-shattering situation into a confidence-boosting one. The work that you two are doing is changing lives and I hope you feel how significant an impact you are making.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
