coming together through conflict
Our Conflict Management Workshops, Listening to be Heard: Coming Together Through Conflict, focus on providing the practical skills to successfully deal with conflict.

How do you manage conflict? How do you get your message across? By identifying our conflict styles in different situations we can begin to clearly identify those in others. We can either place more focus on the goal, or more on the relationship. We help you understand why.
intent vs. perception
'The highway to hell is paved with good intentions'. This old proverb requires the attention it deserves. We may have the best intentions, but without empathy, effective communication and teamwork, our perceptions may lead them into conflict.
Conflict Management Workshop
"Empathy fuels connection. Sympathy drives disconnection." in a few simple words, Dr. Brenè Brown, sums up the differences between these two strategies. Empathy is something that can be easily taught and practiced. By using simple strategies, we can make sure that we can Listen to be Heard.
