Delivered as a 45-minute keynote, half-day intensive, or multi-session series.
The signature program delivered at IMEX Las Vegas and RCMA Emerge. A field-tested framework for naming conflict early, holding the hard conversation, and leaving with the relationship intact.
Built for frontline teams, transit operators, educators, and service staff. Real scenarios, real language, and the physiological mechanics of staying in command when someone else loses it.
A culture program for organizations carrying unresolved history — union and management, departments at odds, or teams rebuilding after turnover. Where personality difference stops being a liability.
Conflict is difficult to describe and immediate to recognize. These stories show the work as it actually happens — the pressure, the turn, and what holds once the room settles.
Evan spent twelve years as a transit operator before he ever stood on a stage. He trained new hires, sat in on grievance hearings, and watched unresolved conflict quietly cost organizations their best people.
He earned a Master's in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation while working full time, became a Rule 31 certified mediator, and founded E. Chatman Consulting in 2020. The credentials are real. So is the mileage behind them.
Whether you need a stage filled, a team rebuilt, a dispute closed, or a leader coached — the engagement is scoped to the outcome, not the hour.
A signature program tailored to your audience, delivered as an opening keynote, closing session, or breakout intensive.

Neutral, confidential mediation for workplace, family, labor, and community disputes — before they reach litigation.
Ongoing counsel for HR leaders and executives who need conflict handled as it emerges, not after it detonates.
