Frequently Asked Questions

  • How is this different from traditional conflict resolution training?

    Three key differences:

    (1) We work with real conflicts, not hypotheticals,

    (2) You're part of an ongoing community, not a one-off course,

    (3) You have direct access to methodology refinement and book development—you're shaping the practice, not just learning it.

  • What if I can't make the scheduled sessions?

    We use multiple platforms and flexible scheduling.

    All sessions are recorded and available to members. Many practitioners watch recordings and bring questions to the next live session.

    Plus, the ongoing LinkedIn community means support is available when you need it most.

  • Is this confidential?

    Absolutely. Members share only what they choose in our private professional network.

  • I've never used the Evaporating Cloud Method before. Will I be lost?

    Not at all. Most members join with no prior EC experience. We start with foundations and build systematically. You'll learn by doing, with expert guidance and peer support.

  • What's the time commitment?

    Weekly sessions plus participation in the community as your schedule allows. Many members find the real-time support actually saves time by preventing conflicts from escalating.

  • Is there support for personal conflict resolution?

    Yes, the community and AI Coach provide support for personal, work-related, and internal conflicts.

  • Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

    Yes, you have the flexibility to cancel your subscription whenever you wish. There are no long-term commitments, allowing you to manage your membership according to your needs.
