Conflict Resolution Workshop
You can't avoid conflict in your life: at work, at home, anywhere people interact. Too often, disagreements lead to harsh consequences like violence or job loss; however, they don't have to. There can be positive outcomes if conflict is handled with thought and attention. The bad news is that most of us are fairly limited in how we handle conflict and generally end up adding fuel to the fire. This workshop is provided to give you the best tools to resolve conflicts effectively.
