Communication & Conflict: How to Stop Fighting and Start Talking!
Do you often find yourself getting into disagreements with the people around you? Does it seem like you can’t resolve one argument before another one starts? Are you constantly walking on eggshells with certain people for fear of “setting them off”?
If you’re tired of the backbiting, the misunderstandings, the accusations, and the stress, it’s time to give your conflict resolution skills a boost and figure out how to stop the fights before they start.
In this workshop, you’ll learn foolproof communications tactics that will help you navigate and mitigate conflict. Instead of discussions that devolve into chaos, instead of arguing about arguing, you can defuse conflict by identifying it at the source.
We’ll talk about the reason why most communication fails, how to be a “best” communicator, and how to move from a place of conflict to one of collaboration. You’ll walk out of this workshop with practical techniques and tips that you can start using immediately - techniques that will help you stop toxic meltdowns before they start and guide conflict to a positive resolution.
Goals/Outcomes:
- Learn a communication model to avoid and resolve conflict
- Understand how to recognize your personal conflict triggers
- Learn how to make sure your message has been understood
- Understand what is missing from your communication
- Gain easy tips that have impact
