What is it about?

When you think of conflict, how do you feel? How do you respond? Conflict is a natural part of human interaction, but how we handle it can either strengthen or weaken relationships and team dynamics.

Some of us avoid conflict entirely, risking “elephants in the room” by not addressing issues. Others dive in, embracing the debate but unintentionally escalating tensions. And some try to mediate but feel unsure if they’re truly making things better.

The truth is conflict isn’t always a bad thing. Research highlights that healthy conflict can foster innovation, improve decision-making, and strengthen trust. However, when conflict becomes destructive, it can harm relationships, morale, and performance.

In this interactive three-hour workshop, managers will learn to defuse unhelpful conflict and embrace healthy conflict that enhances team culture, builds trust, and drives performance.

What will it cover?

By the end of the session, you will:

  • Identify when conflict is productive and when it starts to harm relationships and performance.
  • Reflect on your natural response to conflict and how it impacts others.
  • Learn practical tools and techniques to de-escalate tensions and bring relationships back to harmony.
  • Explore how to create open, honest debates that drive better decisions and improve team dynamics.
  • Discover how addressing conflict effectively can strengthen trust within teams.
  • Gain confidence through real-world scenarios to apply your learning in everyday situations.
