Conflict!
Why can't we just get along?
How do we resolve conflict?
How do we typically handle conflict?
And most importantly, what can we do about it to make it productive?
Join us Tuesday, May 26 from 10 am to 11:30, PDT to explore...
- Some foundations of managing and resolving conflict
- How your Interaction Style can inform you about your habitual responses to conflict situations
- How different Interaction Styles trigger conflict in others
- How to identify four different conflict styles and which style is the best one for different kinds of situations
- An understanding of the relationship between Interaction Styles stress responses and conflict responses
- A deeper sense of how you tend to process conflict
- A process for resolving conflict in a way that can make it productive and helpful
- A process for shifting out of your natural inclinations into other reactions to conflict when it is needed
The live session is 1.5 hours long. We will assume you have already explored Interaction Styles and have identified what is likely your best-fit style.
Modules 1-4 include some online pre-work and some homework that will take about 2 hours. These lessons will give you the basic background to Interaction Styles if you are new to this model of individual differences.
Prerequisites:
It is highly recommended you bring Understanding Yourself and Others, An Introduction to Interaction Styles, 2.0 to the session. If you do not yet have the informative workbook, you can order it here. Just order it right away so you receive it in time for the session. You may also find it helpful to have the Interaction Styles Communication Clues Card.
We also recommend Interaction Essentials, 3 Proven Strategies to Remove Communication Barriers as a resource, but it is not needed for the course.
