WEEK 1 - THE FADE
Escalating conflict can lead to a right-hook to the jaw (aka the Fade) or worse. Before engaging with your fists, take a moment to observe the situation.

WEEK 2 - SHAPE UP
Shaping up is less about projecting dominance or control and more about understanding the emotions and needs of you and the person you are in conflict with.

WEEK 3 - WAVES
Your actions have a ripple effect, like waves. Now that you understand how you are feeling and what your needs are, make a request.
The Barbershop Talk Experience includes:
- social emotional coaching from local barber and Playground City playmaker
- real haircuts and training
- role playing activities for each session
