Turn conflict into communication – and make work a positive place
Like it or not, conflict in the workplace is inevitable, from personality clashes to people butting heads over different points of view. When resolved quickly with a positive approach, conflict can be an opportunity for growth and better understanding among those involved.

In addition, you’ll find out how to defuse an angry person, what to do if the exchange gets verbally abusive, and how to regain control if you feel tears or a blow-up threatening.

Gain a lifetime of peace with these powerful lessons
Bottom line: In just one day at this workshop, you’ll gain skills that will benefit you throughout your entire career – and throughout your life. Your ability to work through disagreements productively and handle confrontation professionally will put you head and shoulders above others and earn you the respect of everyone around you
