1 Day Workshop

This one-day workshop will help you to understand the human processes that lead to conflict situations and difficult conversations with staff and colleagues, perhaps around issues about attitude, time keeping or behaviour. Such situations are invariably stressful. This day looks at how to devise new strategies to manage such conflict in the future.

This is a highly participative workshop and as such, delegates will be asked to draw strongly from their own experiences for the exercises, and to practise role-play scenarios of difficult conversations to emphasise the techniques taught throughout the day.
