It feels so good when we let go of chronic conflict but it takes determination and commitment. Conflict is a natural dynamic that occurs when people feel something inside themselves that impels them to clash with someone. The reasons for conflict are many but the common theme is that someone feels a threat or danger and goes into fight or flight mode.
Conflicts can start very quickly and spread like a wildfire. Then we come in and try to make them go away with the tools we have but overlook the remaining burning embers. So we have recurring conflict. It never goes away because we’ve never actually resolved it.
In my work with individuals and companies we work on showing people a different way to resolve conflict. One based on positive behaviors that get to the root of conflict and actually fix it. We work on creating a workplace where people don’t carry the pain and discomfort associated with ongoing, chronic conflict.
Conflict can cost your company a great deal in wasted time, energy and productivity but people aren’t taught how to deal with it effectively. Many companies turn to progressive discipline or their leaders and employees’ personal conflict resolution strategies but the problems keep recurring. This occurs because we don’t address the core behaviors that lead to conflict.
That’s where conflict resolution training comes in. I help you create a workplace that uses conflict as a tool for change rather than a force of destruction. Conflict itself is not the core problem for companies, it is the lack of a consistent strategy to resolve workplace conflict that creates the most difficulties.
A Practical Approach that Resolves the Conflict
I work closely with you to develop real world strategies that will not only reduce conflict but will help you deal with the root causes of confrontations. I help you make conflict actually go away rather than sweeping it under the rug and hoping it doesn’t come back.
Conflict Resolution Training, Workshops and Retreats
I design training, workshops and retreats that set you up for conflict resolution success. These highly interactive events are targeted at reducing strife by teaching people new strategies to deal with conflict, understand the underlying causes, and take action to improve the situation. I don’t talk at you, we literally work together so that you can learn valuable skills.
Conflict Resolution for Leaders, Managers and Staff
I help leaders, executives and managers become expert conflict resolution practitioners. My methodology helps your organization create a culture of defusing conflict that helps you deal proactively with any situation that may arise. I help you examine your own role in conflicts and how you and your staff can work together to create a positive work environment. People in leadership positions can make a huge difference in how conflict is dealt with in an organization. I give them the tools to lead more effectively and reduce conflict.
Individual Conflict Resolution Coaching
I work closely with individuals to teach them practical skills that will help them deal with conflict proactively. The coaching process builds in accountability and helps people practice effective and consistent conflict resolutions skills. We talk in depth about approaches that will work well for your company and I coach you so you can be the conflict resolution expert.
How would your life or workplace look if you had less conflict in it? I help people learn conflict resolution skills that will change their lives and workplaces.
I have a deeper approach to conflict resolution that focuses on core behaviors and thinking that will help you change your approach to conflict and enjoy life more.
