Effective Communication and Conflict Resolution for Leaders
Using MIRROR Conversations to Communicate Creatively Through Conflict
Number of Participants: Up to 30
Duration: Half Day
Many complex workplace situations begin with a simple concern – a one-off incident of poor attitude, missed deadline, customer complaint, work error or coworker disagreement.
These issues often become complex, positional and emotionally-charged because too much time passes before being brought to the attention of those involved – in a proactive and informal manner.
The first step to any constructive conflict management – and a necessary ingredient for high performing teams – is to simply talk to the individual involved.
During this workshop, Marli will give you a clear and practical framework to use when having challenging conversations. Marli will outline what it means to be a respectful speaker and listener, and how to properly address any disrespect that might arise ‘in the moment.
