Conflict Resolution Skills for Leaders - CANCELLED

Date(s):
July 27 — 28, 2022
Venue:
Northwest Public Power Association
Description:

Who Should Attend:

Leaders, managers, supervisors, and any employee who wants to build on their conflict resolution skills.

Course Overview:

This two-day workshop will equip you with the mindsets and skills to handle inevitable, everyday people problems you experience throughout your work. A core goal is to help you develop a more comfortable relationship with discord, particularly among employees. You’ll learn to unearth and handle the concerns of people in conflict to help them develop lasting solutions. Emphasis is placed on collaboration and effective communication skills that build, rather than damage, important working relationships.

Course Objectives:

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

  • Understand why and how conflict evolves so you can prevent it from spiraling out of control.
  • Understand physiological and psychological responses to conflict in order to apply skills that minimize their negative impacts.
  • Demonstrate how to shift from negative communications and defensive responses toward more constructive dialogue and outcomes.
  • Learn six strategies to help you listen when under stress and describe how to use deep listening to get your messages across more effectively.
