Have you ever wondered why you have difficulty working with a particular individual? Do you chalk it up to personality differences and just try to get along? There is another way. This session uses the self-assessment instrument, “The Strength Deployment Inventory,” to help you discover and re-confirm the strengths you use when things are going well and to realize how they change under conflict situations.

Self-awareness under conflict leads to greater self-control and is the first step in managing conflict effectively. In this program, participants will learn and practice a step-by-step model of dealing with conflict, which emphasizes a positive outcome for everyone involved. Because conflict is inevitable in some situations and avoidable in others, it is important to know the different strategies that can be applied in particular situations.
