Reducing
Conflict and Negativity in the Workplace
Practical
knowledge for practical solutions
How
can we resolve or even reduce conflict and negativity if we don't really
know what they are? Attend
this seminar to experience an exercise that helps you convert vague
notions into sound, useful understandings that will become the basis of
practical solutions.
How
to overcome your fear of confrontation
 |
You
can overcome the fears of confrontation, which inhibit your ability to
re-direct everyone involved toward reduced tensions, healing old
wounds, and more positive working relationships.
|
 |
However,
you won't overcome your fears just by saying so.
Learn and implement the methods in this fast-paced seminar to
overcome those fears once and for all.
|
Exercises
to identify real, primary causes of conflict, negativity
 |
To
make our solution-actions effective, they must target the primary
causes of conflict and negativity.
Otherwise, we may treat the 'symptoms' and thereby waste time,
and possibly make matters worse.
|
 |
Because
many primary causes are hidden from plain view, this seminar conducts
a test-case exercise to demonstrate how you can uncover the major
causes.
|
Methods
to convert confrontations into productive solutions
 |
At
the moment of confrontation, you have a short time to re-direct the
situation toward productive solutions and away from a clash.
|
 |
In
order to exert that influence at the critical time, you must know how
to take control smoothly and lead people away from futile quarrels and
toward positive results.
|
Separate
reality from misleading perceptions (theirs and yours)
 |
The
further we get from reality, the farther apart we get from each other,
which worsens conflict and negativity.
|
 |
This
seminar will emphasize a variety of methods you can employ to bring
back the other person (and yourself) closer to reality, on which you
can then build actions and processes to improve work relations.
|
How
you can be a positive catalyst at any level
 |
You
don't have to be the boss to have a powerful influence on reducing
confrontations and negativity. In
fact, it's in everyone's interest and within everyone's potential
ability to do so.
|
 |
Whether
you're a line-level staff person, a supervisor, or an administrator,
you can learn these insights and techniques to be a positive catalyst
in reducing conflict and improving cooperation.
|
What
you should do before a clash
 |
We
lose huge amounts of time and resources in conflicts and negativity,
not to mention the toll the stress takes on our health.
So it's clearly worth it to spend some time and actions
preparing yourself for expected clashes.
|
 |
This
seminar's simple methods of preparation can help you and your
co-workers profit in many ways.
|
Options
for action during confrontations
 |
Even
with the best skills and preparation to avoid confrontation and
negativity, some will nevertheless occur.
So, instead of being surprised or disappointed in yourself when
they happen, accept that reality and then handle them with the
techniques featured in this seminar.
|

when others are trying to provoke you.

to stop confrontation tactics in their tracks
 |
Learn
these methods to stop confrontation tactics.

toward long-term cooperation and improvement.

Recovery
methods, taking care of yourself after a clash
 |
No
matter what you do to resolve most confrontations and negativity,
sometimes one or two will get through to your emotions and upset you.
|
 |
Attend
this seminar to discover what works best for you to restore peace and
calm, so that you can continue making improvements without unnecessary
damage from lingering stress.
|
Use
their natural motivations to lead them to mutual goals
 |
Learn
how to use their natural desires and legitimate fears as inherent
motivators for peace and cooperation.
|
 |
In
planning resolutions, recognize your limits and theirs.
|
 |
This
seminar emphasizes the need to recognize everyone's limitations when
devising solution actions.
|
 |
This
will help you select the most productive actions to take with limited
resources.
