Communicating to Resolve Conflict

Communicating to Resolve Conflict

Uncertainty and stress affect people in different ways. Well-intended comments and opinions can be misinterpreted, turning everyday conversations into unproductive arguments – and misunderstandings become even more likely when we’re working remotely.

Overview

While you can’t avoid all work conflicts, you can change the way you handle these interactions. Exec-Comm’s Communicating to Resolve Conflict workshop will give you practical techniques and a framework to address conflicts more effectively, manage difficult conversations well, and build better working relationships.
