Senior Trainer, EETraining overview
Many people shy away from conflict, yet having difficult conversations is one of the quickest ways to resolve issues and reach a win-win scenario.
During training, delegates are introduced to an invaluable toolkit to overcome a variety of challenging situations using a combination of listening, empathy, negotiation and asking good questions. They then put this into practice in small group roleplay coaching with the trainers.
Training is tailored based on your team’s specific challenges, so we ask all delegates to complete a survey before the sessions. We will also interview a number of employees to create relevant and specific scenarios for delegates to work through. Our conflict resolution training will take delegates on a journey to reach a resolution and give them an objective viewpoint for all paths forward.
This training is perfect for account managers, team leaders, change management teams, people handling large contracts or negotiating with suppliers, and anyone else needing to resolve conflict when dealing with internal or external stakeholders.
