May Open Meeting

Conflict. Like it or not, we all have some of this in our lives. Maybe it’s …

• An aggressive email you’ve received
• A disagreement you are having with a supplier
• A conflict with a staff member
• A ‘personality clash’ between a couple members of your team
• An uneasy feeling you have about your interactions with someone … and it’s getting worse
• A subtle – but real – tension in the air when communicating with a client

All are signs of impending – or existing – conflict.

Logically, it’s likely we all know it’s better to deal with things like this than let them fester and potentially get worse.

BUT … HOW????

That’s exactly what Colin Andrew is going to share with us on May 10^th.

During his presentation, How to avoid Conflict in the workplace … by dealing with it!, you’ll learn:

• How to identify conflict in the workplace and understand how it escalates
• An effective approach in dealing with difference and disagreements
• Proven methods of resolving disagreements, problems and disputes
• Key distinctions in Negotiation Styles
• How to respond to aggressive electronic communication
• When you need to seek external help from a qualified mediator
