Sylvia Dolena presents the free training “Mastering the ‘Game’ of Change” on Friday, May 9, 2025 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at UH-Hilo. What if there is a way to bring about change by understanding all of the components involved in the change? For this full-day training, we use the analogy of a chess game to create positive change in 6 steps, to enable paradigm shifts to exceed/expand outcomes. The in-person training is free, with a $15 materials fee. To register for “Mastering the ‘Game’ of Change” on May 09 contact Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center at (808) 935-7844 or visit hawaiimediation.org.
