What you'll learn in this conflict resolution training:

Most human beings don’t handle disagreements very well…have you noticed? For any community to function well, they must work out how to reach agreements, handle conflict, hear one another, be clear and efficient in their exchanges, and generally be responsive to others in their spheres of influence.

We will examine and practice tools for dealing with interactions of all kinds. These may include challenging interactions where disagreement and conflict are present or any exchange that could benefit from good listening and responsiveness. In any case, your business effectiveness and personal composure may depend on how you show up in these situations.

Takeaways

Communicate with a difficult person or group
Address a highly charged issue
Soften deeply entrenched points of view
Handle challenging questions
Demonstrate good listening – whether in conflict or not
Sensitize oneself to another’s perspective
Defuse hostility when possible
Make a compelling and persuasive case when necessary
