Grow your communication skills to resolve conflict and develop emotional intelligence

Conflict and disagreements are a natural part of everyday life as there is not enough of what everyone wants to go around.  Conflict occurs over money, goods, services, power, possessions, time, and much more.

If something exists and more than one person wants or needs it, there is a potential for conflict to occur.

Conflict occurs all the time - at home, at work, between individuals, in teams, in groups, in tribes and between nations.  Where there are people, there is conflict.  This is underpinned by how people are using their emotional intelligence.

Some disagreement and conflict is inevitable as this where learning, creativity, and understanding occurs. It is not that conflict occurs that is the issue, it is how it is managed.

This course is about proactively working together with others in ways that will help you to communicate more efficiently as you work with them to understand and work with differences that lead to conflict. In addition, the skills, processes and tools taught in this course can bring value to other aspects of your life.

Negotiating and resolving conflict requires good use of emotional intelligence - your ability to balance your emotional needs with your thinking.  Managing conflict involves using skills such as rapport, empathy and listening.

Conflict modes and styles are reviewed looking at the strengths and liabilities of each. You get the chance to complete a questionnaire that will give you an insight to the mode / style that you prefer to use in conflict situations.  Completing this practical activity will enable you to identify ways to reframe and defuse conflict, creating more productive outcomes and results.

The course, also, covers flexibility and how you use behavioural preferences around working with time.  Your flexibility and adaptability underpins how you work with change and can have a profound impact on others that could lead to conflict.
