Conflict Resolution Training
Conflict Resolution Training
You know that sinking feeling when tension starts brewing between team members? That awkward silence in meetings when two people can barely look at each other.
Maybe it is two departments pointing fingers, or that one person who just seems to set everyone off. We have all been there. Avoiding certain areas of the office just to keep things calm.
Look, conflict is not going away anytime soon. It is part of working with humans who have opinions and feelings and bad days. Some workplaces handle it well, others... well, others turn into proper war zones where people would rather call in sick than deal with the drama.
Most of us were not exactly taught how to handle heated conversations. School covered algebra but not "what to do when your colleague loses their mind over a deadline." So we wing it, hope someone else sorts it out, or just pretend it is not happening.
This training gives you real tools. Not theory - actual techniques you can use when things get messy.
The thing is, you will learn to spot trouble before it explodes. That subtle shift in body language. The way conversations suddenly stop when certain people walk in. Those little warning signs that most of us ignore until someone is shouting.
We cover the uncomfortable stuff : how to have difficult conversations without making everything worse. How to stay calm when someone is being completely unreasonable. When to step in and when to back off.
What makes this different is you practice with actual scenarios. Not perfect textbook examples. Real workplace mess like the team member who shoots down every idea, or when personal issues start affecting everyone else. You will understand why some people seem addicted to conflict and how to handle them without losing your mind.
For managers, this is not optional anymore. You need to know how to address performance issues without creating more problems. How to mediate between people who clearly cannot stand each other. How to create an environment where conflict resolution training actually works in practice, not just on paper.
Individual contributors benefit too. These skills help you speak up for yourself without starting a fight. You learn to give feedback that people can actually hear instead of immediately getting defensive.
What You Will Learn:
- Spotting conflict before it turns into a disaster
- Staying calm when everyone else is losing their minds
- Having difficult conversations that actually go somewhere
- When to get involved and when to stay out of it
- Rebuilding relationships after things have gone wrong
- Managing your own reactions when dealing with impossible people
- De escalation techniques that work in real situations
The messy truth about workplace conflict : it happens everywhere. The difference between functional teams and toxic ones is not whether they have disagreements. It is whether they know how to work through them.
You will walk away with skills that work in the real world. Whether you naturally avoid conflict or jump in too quickly, you will find better ways to handle the inevitable disagreements that come with working alongside other humans.
These are not just work skills. They will change how you handle difficult conversations everywhere . Family dinners become less stressful. Friend drama gets easier to navigate.
Some people think conflict resolution means everyone holds hands and sings songs. That is not what this is about. This is about getting stuff done even when people disagree. It is about creating space where different opinions can exist without everything falling apart.
Available across Australia, with options for remote teams who need to sort things out over video calls.
