Description
Interpersonal conflict in our lives can generate a gift of learning: learning something new about ourselves, others, and issues. At the same time, unresolved conflict can sap creativity, weaken team collaboration, and negatively affect one’s morale. In this session, we will look at conflict from a fresh perspective. It can be an invitation to expand our understanding of ourselves, see possibilities for advancing mutual interests with others, and generate learning for an ongoing application of conflict handling skills to practice. Participants will walk away from the session with emotional and verbal skills for meeting the challenge of conflict with curiosity, compassion, and courage.
