Instructor: Michael Geraghty

Conflict in business is all too familiar-particularly under increased business pressures. Still, most of us lack basic conflict management skills. Rather than react to conflict on a purely emotional level, you can learn how to manage disputes and disagreements in a positive manner, or even avoid them altogether. This half day seminar will show you how to recognize the causes of interpersonal conflict. It emphasizes skills to help you critically evaluate conflict situations and then choose the appropriate strategies and tools to manage and/or resolve these conflicts. You’ll develop greater awareness of your emotional triggers and how to control them. In addition, you will learn how to continually action-plan around the implementation of your new skills. How you will benefit: recognize the underlying causes of conflict, map conflict using a five-step approach, identify ways to develop flexible responses to personal and professional conflicts, practice applying models, techniques and strategies to manage your interpersonal communication behaviours in conflict situations, implement strategies to improve your communication and effectively respond to conflict.
