Win-Win: The Art of Interest-Based Conflict Resolution

Workshop Overview

Interest-based conflict resolution is a process in which people collaborate to find a win-win solution to their conflict.

Participants will learn and practice techniques for deescalating and resolving conflict. They learn how to effectively deal with an upset customer, resolve a business dispute, navigate team conflict, and respond to high-conflict people.

They will gain awareness of their role and responsibility in managing conflict, and build skills in communication, consensus building, negotiations, mediation, and creative problem-solving.
