REAL Artistry Professional Development Package

Get the conflict management CPD you need, and develop your skills towards artistry.

REAL Masterclasses

You are invited to ten online 2-hour masterclasses in which you will be challenged to develop your practice towards artistry. Topics vary from month to month. Masterclasses typically involve an hour presentation, followed by an hour of discussion. If you can't attend live, you'll be sent a recording of the session to review at your leisure.

Artistry Drop-In Sessions

Each month, members of our community are invited to drop into our 2-hour zoom sessions. These are unstructured sessions where you can come to ask questions, debrief on any challenges you have been experiencing, engage in skills practice, network with other practitioners... We never know where these sessions will go, but they are always valuable!

Library of over 120 hours of training videos

Members receive access to our library of recordings of all Masterclasses and Webinars from the past two years. There are over 120 hours of content to support you to continue your professional development towards artistry.
