This session will run from 9:00am-3:00pm, with a one-hour lunch break at noon.

All teams go through cycles of growth and change, and all teams deal with conflict. How do we celebrate our differences and maximize our talents, while staying committed to the work and results our mission requires? How can we best manage inter-personal conflict during times of stress and uncertainty—or in a virtual environment?

In this interactive session, participants will explore the dynamic stages of team development, learn how they may lead to conflict, and practice techniques and tools for healthy communication.

Your experience in the workshop will be enriched by the collective wisdom of your classmates, and you will walk away with practical materials, real world advice, and many strategies to help you and your organization succeed.

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• Effectively share with your team or organization phases of team development—from disharmony to productivity.

• Apply practical tools and a roadmap for navigating difficult conversations.

In the session you will:

• Explore the concepts of, and establish a language for, individual differences and conflict

• Build Emotional Intelligence through empathy and self-awareness

• Understand and apply tools for healthy interactions especially in a virtual or hybrid work environment

Who should attend?

The course is for either individuals or teams who experience conflict in the workplace and want to understand and mitigate the non-productive effects conflict can have in the work environment.

Note: If you would like to send more than 4 staff from one organization, please email us at events@missioncapital.org for a discount.
