Conflict & Negotiation Resolution Skills

   
 

Learn how to help employees develop a full understanding of the talents (and “non talents”) that will drive their careers

   

The ability to resolve workplace conflict is a key differentiator for the ability of any group of individuals to function as a team.  Research shows that high performing teams actually experience regular conflict, although conversations remain respectful and solution-orientated. On the other hand, teams that lack a basis for conflict resolution are less likely to hold each other accountable and struggle to achieve high levels of performance. Fortunately, conflict resolution skills can be readily learned by most people, and the tools can be used effectively even when the other party has no specific conflict  resolution skills.

This program focuses intensively on skills practice, so that participants build a high level of confidence in the tools they learn before leaving the room.
