I was honestly blown away by CMI's Certified Workplace Mediation Specialist training. I came in feeling completely overwhelmed by constant team conflicts, and left Sunday afternoon with total confidence and a toolbox I’ve already used three times this week.  Best professional development I’ve ever done — worth every penny!
