Our Programmes:
Whilst conflict is almost inevitable in the workplace, the outcome of such conflict is not pre-determined. People have choice. In fact, creating a positive environment where different views are aired and examined constructively will help a team to be more productive.
The programmes begin with a deep understanding of each individual in the team, their preferences, conflict modes and potential indicators, including areas of potential stress and frustration. By understanding why people are different, and how they respond to different stimuli (need for meetings for brainstorming versus a preference for individual reflection of issues etc, the participants develop a high level of self-awareness of the impact of their own behavioural preferences on others. These key insights provide the seque into conflict modes and strategies.
These programmes can include negotiating skills or this can be conducted as a separate activity. The focus is on the human dynamics aspects of negotiating, together with strategies for effective negotiating.
The programmes can be stand-alone, part of a team building or team development activity, or part of individual coaching support.
