Great Teams Turn Conflicts Into Opportunities…
Conflict in the workplace is unavoidable and it’s usually considered a problem rather than an opportunity. However, when managed appropriately, conflict can be used to propel your businesses ahead of your competitors. Conflict can be the starting point for great ideas and giant leaps forward. Unfortunately, many people avoid conflict because they don’t know how to disagree with a co-worker or superior without turning the situation into a shouting match or power-struggle.
Don’t miss this powerful and engaging program for all Bloomington Area Business and Organizational Professionals. Join expert facilitators Michele Mattoon and Jim McKean on January 28th and find out how you can turn company or organizational conflicts into solutions using Coltrain Group’s unique protocol based approach to communication.
