This workshop explores the various dynamics of conflict, including its sources and how it often escalates in predictable patterns. Participants will learn skills for responding confidently and effectively to conflict. The virtual workshop will be interactive and include features such as shared screen and breakout rooms which will allow the trainer to facilitate an engaging workshop experience. |
