Educating with tactics & tools to overcome workplace barriers.
The success of underrepresented women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) requires them to be able to overcome discrimination and stereotypes in the workplace. Not only are they highly skilled and accomplished, but they are also too often overlooked and ignored. The PositiveHire Mid-Level Executive training program provides underrepresented women the leadership training they need to navigate, overcome, and thrive in corporate America.

Lynne Hurdle
Conflict Resolution Strategist
I am a conflict resolution strategist, facilitator, speaker and coach. In addition, I am the author of the best seller, Closing Conflict for Leaders: How to Be a Bold Leader and Develop a Kick-Ass, High-Functioning, Happy AF Team. In many circles, I am known as The Conflict Closer, not just because I help leaders gain the skills they need to dig deep and finally close the door on those conflicts that have been plaguing their business for too long, but also because I help you bring conflict closer. That’s right, I help you bring conflict close enough to examine the roots of it, the fruits of it and the long-lasting effects it has on your business and your life. I make it less scary by helping you to actually see it, get to know it, be in relationship with it. Because it is only then that you can use it to help you and your team transform. I have helped a lot of people transform in my thirty plus years of doing this work and that’s because through a mix of different styles and methods, I make it interesting and fun.
