About this Event
Transform your approach to workplace (and personal!) conflict with innovative techniques drawn from improvisational theater. This dynamic, interactive course is especially aimed at managers and executives seeking to enhance their ability to navigate and resolve complex team conflicts, negotiate effectively, and lead through challenging situations, though anyone can benefit.
Over three weeks, you'll learn:
- The difference between conflict resolution and mitigation
- Your own orientation to conflict
- Negotiation and listening core skills, to proactively address and mitigate team conflicts
- Collaborative communication skills to help you respond flexibly to unexpected disagreements and tensions
Each session focuses on practical techniques that translate directly to your professional environment. Through carefully crafted group activities and discussions, you'll gain fresh perspectives on conflict, and its management, without the pressure of performance or being put on the spot.
This course is ideal for:
- Managers and executives from any industry
- Professionals dealing with team conflicts or difficult negotiations
- Anyone seeking to improve their conflict resolution and leadership skills
No prior team experience or improv background necessary. Come prepared for an engaging, insightful experience that balances serious skill-building with enjoyable, interactive learning. You'll develop a toolkit of strategies to transform conflict into collaboration, all while in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
Comfortable attire recommended for ease of movement during activities.
Invest in your professional growth and join us for this unique opportunity to master the art of conflict resolution and elevate your leadership presence.
