We at Roundhead Brewery recently had the pleasure of working with Neal Duckworth and Paul Wells of D2 Northeast Solutions to provide conflict de-escalation training to our employees. This training was incredibly valuable and highlighted several critical areas for improvement in our operational plans.

The expertise and professionalism of Neal and Paul were evident throughout the training. They identified multiple issues that we are now addressing to enhance the safety and security of both our staff and customers. Their recommendations have provided us with a clear path to ensure a safer environment in our brewery.

We are committed to implementing these changes and are confident that, with the guidance from D2 Northeast Solutions, Roundhead Brewery will continue to be a welcoming and secure place for everyone. We highly recommend Neal Duckworth and Paul Wells to any business looking to improve their conflict de-escalation strategies and overall security procedures.

Thank you, Neal and Paul, for your invaluable insights and recommendations.

Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas) contracted with D2 Northeast Solutions to provide a presentation on “Best Practices & Lessons Learned: Active Shooters” for more than twenty Human Resources Managers and our corporate security officer.  Mr. Duckworth is an engaging presenter, who provided a tailor-made, well-researched education on the origins and indicators of workplace conflict and violence and how to prepare and respond to active shooter events.  As HR professionals, we are extremely concerned with establishing the proper support to our workforce and this course was perfect.  I highly recommend D2 Northeast to provide training and support to your organization.

Close to 40 people gathered at the Newton Free Library on January 15th to hear Neal Duckworth give his active shooter survival talk. The audience was fully engaged. Mr. Duckworth ran through many pertinent facts, helpful suggestions and practical tips to educate people on how to best be prepared should they find themselves in the unfortunate position of having to navigate and survive an active shooter situation. The Q and A was robust and patrons commented anecdotally that they appreciated having heard Mr. Duckworth speak. He is very knowledgeable on this topic and his easy-going presentation style helps diffuse tension when speaking about this challenging subject matter. I highly recommend this presentation.

Neal is a compelling speaker and a charismatic and passionate teacher. I met him during my studies at Harvard during the “Leading Conflict Resolution in the Workplace” course. His in-depth psychological analysis of the origins of conflict, and his advice on how to recognize and avoid conflict in the first place were both very practical and memorable. His lecture was the highlight of the course!
