Conflict Management

There is an art to managing conflict. Avoiding confrontation or just letting a situation fester should never be seen as an option or a solution. Conflict resolution, ensuring everyone is calm and working towards a solution that all can adhere to, has the potential to create lasting alliances and foster respect between parties. This is a skill that will help participants in all aspects of their lives, whether it be in the workplace, home or in the wider world. Recognising when tensions are brewing and diffusing conflict effectively, is the only viable short, medium and long term solution.
