Introduction

The Conflict Club is Level 1 of the Thinking Coach Pathway — where you build proficiency in Thinking through the Evaporating Cloud, the foundation of every later level.

Four levels. One designation. A serious craft, learned by practising weekly with people doing the same.

When you are ready to join, visit the Membership page.

What you get

  • Weekly live sessions

    60-minute practice with an experienced Host. Real conflicts, structured process, group insight. You learn by doing.

  • Rising Above the Clouds

    A book that teaches the method from the ground up. Written to work alongside the sessions. Read a chapter, work the exercises, bring your questions to the group. You get early access to the living draft — and your feedback shapes the final work.

  • A practitioner community

    People at various stages of the journey, all committed to building this capability. The sessions are small, the learning is grounded in practice, and the support continues between sessions.

  • Meet RIC — Your Rapid Improvement Coach

    RIC guides you through the Perry Approach to the Evaporating Cloud — step by step, Socratic, and grounded in the same rigour a certified Practitioner brings to a live session. Practise between sessions, build your own Clouds, and bring your completed work to the group.

  • The Clouds Library

    A growing collection of real conflicts worked by members of this community. Each one shows the structure of the conflict, the assumptions that held it stuck, and the breakthrough that evaporated it. Search by keyword, find the patterns that match your situation, and build on what others have discovered.

  • Meet ZoeH — Your Thinking Partner

    We help you set up ZoeH — your personal AI thinking partner inside our Workspace. Grounded in the methodology, she connects to the Clouds Library, helps you prepare for sessions, and answers your questions as you learn. And she grows with you as your practice deepens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click to expand

  • 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.
