Understanding Conflict and Communication

Join us on Wednesday, March 13 @ 6pm EST for an exciting conversation with Managing Partner of Triad Consulting Group, Debbie Goldstein as she shares her work in conflict and communication. Debbie teaches negotiation as a faculty member at Harvard Law School and Harvard Graduate School of Education. She has also taught at Tufts University School of Medicine and was an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center for many years.

Her varied clients include Merck, Chanel, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Capital One, Barclay’s, Honda, Standard Bank, Shell, Boeing, General Mills, MetLife, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Citigroup, Prudential, and Proctor & Gamble. She coaches senior executives through difficult decision-making and managing critical relationships, and has helped mediate family business disputes. In the public sector, she founded and ran a free legal aid clinic called LINC (Legal Initiative for Children) for the patients at Massachusetts General Hospital’s Chelsea outpost. She is currently on the Board of Directors of WBUR and Income Research + Management. She has been a featured guest on NPR, and her writing has appeared in the Boston Globe Magazine, the Management Information Exchange Journal, and the Harvard Business Review. Debbie is a graduate of Williams College and Boston College Law School. After college, Debbie lived in Chicago chasing (and catching) her dream of becoming a jazz vocalist.
