Description

This workshop focuses on improving conflict skills and how to communicate effectively in difficult situations. You’ll build community by having a shared language with which to deal with conflict challenges.We train by combining presentations with experiential learning – you’ll have fun! We’ve found that those skills related to effective conflict management are best learned by practice. During the workshop, we’ll use your own experiences to:

● Learn about the styles of conflict

● Learn what influences the way people respond to conflict

● Learn how conflict escalates

● Learn how to de-escalate conflict

You’ll learn about active listening, communicating to be heard and how to ask questions.
