This course focuses on how conflict is a normal byproduct of relationships. By looking at conflict as natural, we help people move past the win-lose aspect of conflicts.
Participants identify their conflict resolution style and learn the strengths and weaknesses of each style. They examine the typical blockers that hinder the resolution process. Participants also learn three critical skills to aid them in managing conflict. Additionally, a five-step collaborative process is introduced.
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
> Recognize how and why conflict exists> Realize that conflicts represent differences in opinions and beliefs> Learn how to think their way through a conflict> Identify his or her personal conflict resolution style> Demonstrate a five-step collaborative process> Learn how to take the perspective of others> Practice the ABCs of managing emotions
