No one likes to deal with conflict. But avoiding it can keep people and organizations stuck in unhealthy patterns and rob us of opportunities to grow and change.
In this workshop leaders and emerging leaders will learn how to:
– Understand and assess various levels of congregational conflict.
– Manage emotions and responses when conflict arises, using strategies from a Strengths-Based Perspective
– Develop intervention strategies using insights gained through practice and case studies
– Determine when and how to seek additional assistance and resources to effectively deal with conflict.
Maximum of 30 participants, register early!
