The Managing Conflict workshop aims to resource people so that they may be more effective and successful when conflict surfaces at work. Participants benefit from a dual focus on both their own view of conflict as well as their primary stakeholders.
Beginning with an examination of what constitutes conflict and why good robust communication processes are vital, attention is then given to building skills and confidence when dealing with this. In addition to improving both listening and questioning skills, the workshop also explores the importance of identifying verbal, vocal and non-verbal signals and examines different conflictual styles.
The nature of the workshop is highly practical. Through a variety of experiential exercises and self-assessments, participants learn best-practice techniques and strategies for managing conflict well. The workshop culminates in the development of individual action plans for participants to act on immediately following the workshop in order to reinforce new skills and understandings gained.

The common issue I see is, people ignoring it in the hope it will resolve itself and eventually go away. This has the opposite effect, and just makes it worse.
So why does this happen so often? Why are we afraid to face into the conflict and manage it?
Because of two things;
• We are not sure how to manage it effectively
• We are not sure how we will be perceived once it is managed
