\nWe all experience conflict. Most of us have developed our own toolkit for preventing unhealthy conflicts and to resolve issues that arise. But what if we\u2019re blinded by our own comfort zone and style? Clinical evidence-based conflict research shows how we all have a preferred approach when in conflict. While our approach may work well in some circumstances, it is less effective in others. Those skilled in dealing with workplace conflict expand their toolkits with surprising techniques from other approaches that really work in resolving issues. Participants leave this dynamic and engaging session with practical tools they can implement right away to resolve conflicts for good!<\/p>\n

\nIn this 90-minute workshop we will explore the phenomenon of psychological safety and create a safe place for participants to share their own experiences of feeling psychologically unsafe in the workplace. We will discuss the challenge of unconscious biases and the tell-tale signs of these to watch out for revealed through subtle micro-messages. At an individual level, a person\u2019s emotional intelligence is the primary enabling skill that contributes to the level of psychological safety on a team and in an organization. Individuals with high emotional intelligence create higher levels of psychological safety, whereas those with low emotional intelligence can destroy it.<\/p>\n
