As digital business and Business 3.0 accelerate the pace of change, organizational boundaries and alliances are in a state of constant flux. To survive and thrive in this new knowledge economy, teams and individuals must learn how to resolve conflicts more effectively while preserving long-term relationships. Unfortunately, most professionals receive very little training in effective conflict resolution, leading to situations where conflict is avoided, responses are passive-aggressive, or, worse still, schoolyard bullying becomes the dominant method for 'winning' conflicts.

This instructor-led live training (available onsite or remote) is designed for executives, leaders, teams, and business professionals who wish to learn how to resolve conflict using practical, easy-to-follow, yet highly effective conflict models. By the end of the course, you will have hands-on experience with 14 powerful plug-and-play tools that will help you resolve conflicts while maintaining positive workplace relationships.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Identify the five stages of effective conflict resolution.
• Establish guidelines for handling conflict before it begins.
• Manage themselves positively during conflict.
• Apply proven methods to resolve conflict faster and more effectively.
• Rehearse conflict scenarios to achieve better outcomes.
• Learn from conflict to approach future disputes differently.

The program includes simulations, role-playing activities, and interactive workshops to provide the necessary practical experience. The course emphasizes fun, interactive, practical, visual, and analogy-based learning to help embed the models while moving at a fast pace. You can expect to discuss topics ranging from buildings, emotions, preparing your 'conflict dish', lemmings, 20th-century psychologists, Harvard Business models, Yogic breathing, kidnapping, rice, chairs, and Les Misérables.
