Despite our best efforts, at some point in our lives conflict is inevitable. This workshop combines Psychology and Communication principles to address the skills needed for handling disagreements in the most effective manner possible.
During this interactive workshop, participants will collaborate with faculty and staff members while exploring tools for defining problems, choosing the most appropriate strategy, following a process and striving to achieve win-win outcomes. Additionally, the course will discuss how cultural differences and diversity affect interpretations of various situations. As a result, participants will receive a wide array of strategies and techniques for managing tough conversations in the workplace.
If you want to reduce conflict and develop meaningful relationships with others in your life, this is the workshop for you!
