the short version…
You’re the reason I created Resolution Stream!
Hey there, I’m Dave Hilton. I help small business owners, entrepreneurs and other ambitious professionals learn the essential Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, Communication & Leadership skills necessary to build successful careers and develop high-performance teams.
It’s still hard to admit, but my first experience in a high-level leadership role was a complete disaster!
While I had mastered all the technical skills needed for the position, there wasn’t a manual to help me learn how to go from just being a member of a highly competitive team of creative people to successfully leading a highly competitive team of creative people.
Under my leadership, the team was very successful in executing operational plans, exceeding goals and even winning awards. But, I was stumbling around making mistake after mistake by not listening, communicating, inspiring, or empowering my team.
They were miserable & I was oblivious!
So, despite our success (at least, on the surface), almost all of them quit because of the invisible interpersonal cancer that was festering & growing uncontrollably all around us.
That massive career failure motivated me to learn as much as I could about Negotiation, Conflict Resolution, Communication & Leadership. I promised myself, I would NOT make the same mistakes again!
That eventually lead to me earning a Master’s degree in Dispute Resolution (with a focus on cross-cultural and generational conflict in the workplace) from Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, TX. Go Mustangs!
Resolution Stream merges my 20+ years of broadcasting & management experience with nearly a decade of Conflict Resolution consulting, coaching & training into what I like to call, “nuggets of knowledge for your noggin’ ” – using live streams, video conferencing & webinars, video interviews, online courses & other video-on-demand (VOD) content..
