Conflict, great or small, may arise in different ways during the course of your research - usually when a need isn’t being met, or a disagreement arises during a project. Developing the way you understand and address conflict and potential conflict situations will improve your communication skills, reduce stress, and enable you to resolve issues effectively, while at the same time enhancing your working relationships.
In this workshop you will choose from a range of techniques for handling conflict in situations that are relevant and meaningful to you.
This workshop is conducted in a safe and confidential environment where various issues related to conflict can be discussed."
