Picking a Fight: Interpersonal Communication and Conflict Management

Synopsis

One of the challenging things when working with people is, well, working with people. We think differently, interpret actions differently, and create an atmosphere around us that isn’t always what we had intended. Through this workshop, we will get to know tools and skills for interpersonal communication and for recognizing and managing conflicts. We will learn to improve our communication with the people around us in both personal and professional contexts; to recognize emerging conflicts and manage them – all the while strengthening our control and freedom of choice within the situation.

Outcomes

The professional tools utilized in this workshop are varied and interactive and cultivate experiential and inclusive learning. The workshop is interactive and encourages active participation while maintaining the level of exposure appropriate for each participant. It is not a lecture.
