Essential Skills for Navigating Conflict

Conflict, you do not have to look far to see it. Conflict is present in our daily lives and how we respond to it determines our effectiveness, our integrity and our standing with others. Let’s face it; a world without conflict is not only unrealistic, but undesired.

Without conflict, we would lose creativity and innovation. Without conflict, we would be expected to conform and not grow. For all the negativity and fear of conflict, there are just as many positive benefits. Learning not to avoid conflict, but instead to embrace it and use it as a tool can make a world of difference.

This workshop is for those who meet some of the following criteria:·
You experience conflict in your professional life on a regular basis;·
