DETAILS: You can’t exist in the world without encountering conflict – and when you do, you’re likely to feel trapped by it. It seems like the harder you push, the more the other person resists. Or you might simply avoid the conflict – and end up walking on eggshells around that person. Whichever approach you take, you find yourself dwelling on and worrying about the situation for days, sometimes weeks!
“The Joy of Conflict” offers hope. Learn to manage your conflicts before they end up managing you. Instead of feeling ineffective or powerless, feel the relief and satisfaction that comes with resolution.
In this interactive teleclass with author/mediator Gary Harper, you’ll discover the roles that trap you in conflict and learn how to escape those roles. This understanding will empower you to take action to meet your conflicts head-on in a way that allows resolution. Replace your helplessness and frustration with an ability to implement a proven, stategic approach.
