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 to 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.
