Conflict Management and Resolution
Most workplace conflicts aren't about the surface disagreement; they're about unmet needs, unheard voices, and unequal power dynamics. This workshop explores how conflict shows up differently across diverse teams and why traditional resolution methods often fail marginalized employees. We'll examine why some people get labeled "difficult" for raising concerns while others get praised for "passionate debate." Participants will learn to recognize when conflict stems from systemic inequities versus interpersonal friction, develop skills to navigate difficult conversations without bypassing important truths, and transform destructive patterns into productive dialogue. You'll leave with practical tools to address conflict in ways that strengthen trust rather than silence dissent.
