Description

What do you do when confronted with people who emphatically disagree with you or each other? How do you respond to conflict in a way that acknowledges differences, creates collaborative discussions and results in a solution everyone can live with?  Being challenged and remaining effective in conflicts can be emotionally demanding without sufficient skills to give you confidence.

This workshop provides both a structure for understanding conflict and practical skills that make a difference so your future interventions can give results. You will gain increased confidence from learning and applying a range of approaches to turn challenging behaviour into objective or constructive discussions.

Learning Outcomes

Participation in this workshop will enable you to:

  • understand and diagnose the nature of the conflict
  • guide a discussion through the phases from problem to solution
  • apply practical tools that can increase confidence in responding to challenging behaviour.

Content

  • Understanding the conflicts we work with
  • Steps to take discussions from conflict to cooperation
  • Skills to help people talk safely and build working relationships including:
    • finding common ground when we disagree with people
    • reframing  messages and the content of discussion from negative to constructive
    • how to say 'no' honestly and respectfully
    • being persuasive

I think recognising some of the other leadership styles of our team has helped me to understand and interact with some of my colleagues more efficiently, especially the 'plants', and have more acceptance and empathy when working with them. I'm doing more listening before letting my brain kick in and trying to find solutions for everything.

I'm more mindful of staff members' strengths when allocating tasks, having a better understanding of how they work.

Really worthwhile! I was impressed with the presenter and her communication style. I feel I have more knowledge and tools to better myself and others.
