Conflict and Communication
Course Description
Conflict is an inevitable and necessary part of communication. It
arises when those who are communicating adopt different positions,
but must agree on only one result. Although at times painful,
conflict can be productive if it achieves a positive solution. The
challenge in managing conflict is how to ensure that it achieves
positive results. However, it is even better to prevent conflict
(NOT avoid it) and use your communication skills to mediate between
potentially conflicting parties.
The focus of this course is on how conflict is linked
inextricably to communication. Delegates will understand how their
communication styles can lead to conflict and how to avoid such
situations. During the course, participants will be able to improve
their communication skills, develop their assertiveness, identify
the causes and effects of conflict and practice techniques for the
resolution of conflict.
