Conflict is a part of working life but when it’s ignored or mishandled, it can quickly impact morale, trust and team performance. In this session, managers will explore practical strategies for resolving conflicts constructively, engaging in tough conversations and preserving strong working relationships.

We’ll explore:

  • What effective conflict resolution looks like in leadership
  • The root causes of workplace conflict and how to address them
  • A clear framework for preparing and leading challenging conversations

You’ll gain the skills to handle conflict effectively and enhance communication and collaboration throughout your team.
