In this interactive presentation, participants will be presented with three conflict situations that may arise in non-profits on any given day–a meeting that goes badly, having to give/receive feedback, and having to initiate a difficult conversation. These scenarios will be used to teach participants strategies they can use to navigate these situations more skilfully. Participants will have opportunities for practice and discussion and will leave the workshop with tools they can immediately use the next time these conflict situations rear their head in the organization.
