"Understanding Your Conflict I.Q."

This workshop teaches attendees how to ignite and maintain critical conversations in the face of strong emotions, failed promises, and violated expectations. At the heart of most organizational, team, and family problems is the inability to understand our conversational reactions to conflict and thus, most conversations fail and problems continue. This course offers a rich repertoire of skills and concepts that will profoundly enhance your ability to decode conflicts, understand your natural conflict response, and develop effective conversational strategies which enable you to deal creatively with tough problems while dealing with difficult people. The program is designed to help you tackle your most difficult communications and never walk away from another conflict.

"Managing Transitions - Surviving When Everything is Falling Apart"

Transitions are those periods when you find yourself in the midst of profound change - which is happening more frequently in today’s workplace. Transitions involve a major reshaping of your day-to-day roles, a redefining of your identity, and, most likely, a shift in how others perceive you. When change occurs, something ends and most of us try to immediately fill the void that the ending has created. This workshop will help you move more freely through transitions by providing a set of strategies and skills you can use to manage the change process and to minimize the people breakage that often accompanies change. Learn to understand the stages of transitions internally and within organizations, so that you can gain greater mastery as you go through them.
