CCWT Managing Conflict and Difficult Conversations 1-day COORDINARE Workshop
Managing conflict and having difficult conversations is an inevitable part of life. We often approach these as a ‘problem’, but when handled well, conflict and difficult conversations can be healthy, constructive and positive. For example, they can allow us to communicate our thoughts, feelings and needs in a healthy way, strengthen relationships, and be a springboard for personal and/or professional growth. However, knowing the appropriate approach is a must.
This interactive workshop aims to help you to discover the best approach by building self-awareness, extending knowledge and practicing skills.
