How to Transform Workplace Conflict

ADD TO CALENDAR: MS Outlook Google Calendar

Most people try to avoid conflict in the workplace. However conflict is a healthy and natural part of living and working together. It is only when it is hidden, unrecognised or personalised that it makes it difficult to address constructively and can result in a host of workplace problems.

Conflict presents both danger and opportunity. This workshop emphasizes the positive and creative potential of conflict. It will show you how to maintain focus on the business and prevent potentially damaging consequences.

Delegates will be shown how to recognize, resolve and transform workplace conflict before it escalates.

Attend this workshop and learn how to:

  • explore new ways of understanding and reframing conflict;
  • become more aware of your personal attitudes, behaviour and response to conflict affect the way you manage your staff;
  • discover effective ways of recognising and surfacing conflict so it gets worked with constructively;
  • learn a broad strategy, tools and resources which suit different situations and different types of desired outcomes;
  • learn a range of personal and facilitative skills to resolve and transform conflict and help others do so;

“The quality of our lives depends not on whether we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them” Thomas Crum
