Building Conflict-Free Relationships

Building Conflict-Free Relationships

Tools for Working with Anyone

Whatever your position, you must interact effectively with other people to get work done. And within every work environment, conflict is inevitable.

Your success is defined by how you develop and maintain positive working relationships with everyone around you. Making the situation worse is that today we are all overworked and overwhelmed.

Whether it's your boss, colleagues, or direct reports, people are prone to react emotionally or push their own agendas instead of focusing on what you are trying to communicate. These behaviors can lead to conflict in the form of misunderstanding, frustration, and work delays.

Here's your chance to get immediate solutions for turning around difficult relationships and creating a climate where everyone feels valued and respected. This webinar provides the concrete tactics, sage advice, and proven techniques for alleviating the challenge and discomfort in all your relationships.
