Conflict Resolution
This Conflict Resolution training course teaches you how to unpack what creates conflict in the workplace, gain a strong insight into why people act the way they do, have empathy for difficult and diverse behaviours, grow your emotional intelligence, and be able to work among a range of communication styles.
You will be able to identify and deal effectively with difficult behaviours and situations through positive communication, active listening, and problem-solving skills.
As your understanding of your environment grows, you’ll continue to gain a better insight into why people act the way they do and have strong self-reflection skills so you understand how you personally deal with conflict as well as develop conflict resolution strategies.
