Managing Conflicts
Managing Conflicts
Idea and target of this training
This seminar will help participants to identify and to effectively deal with conflict in situations. It will demonstrate how to take control of conflicts, and by focusing on participants’ individual attitudes to conflict, will help to understand their own behaviour and to work towards positive outcomes. By analysing the environment and the parties involved, participants will become familiar with their options in addressing conflicts. A range of de-escalation communication techniques will be trained to enable participants to lead effectively or to moderate conflict conversations with their colleagues, customers or managers.
