Becoming Conflict Competent
Conflict exists at the root of some of the best personal, team, and organizational successes, and at the core of many of the worst failures. What makes the difference is the process; how the situation is handled.
If you can learn to harness the power of conflict, you can be the catalyst for new ideas and creative solutions to challenging situations. This course teaches you how to become that catalyst.
The goal of this course is to enhance your ability to handle conflict, in all its complexity. Becoming Conflict Competent teaches you how to connect with the crucial information inside yourself and others, as a foundation for initiating change and resolving differences.
Becoming Conflict Competent will change the way you see and approach conflict. It will help you control your own responses so you can get better results from the inevitable conflicts that you will face.

Exploring Systemic Interests
This course takes a systems view of conflict; how all parties are experiencing the conflict. By seeing the whole picture, you will better understand what you want out of the situation and equally important, understand what others want as well.
Managing Emotions
Do you want to handle emotions–yours and others’–better during a conflict? Becoming Conflict Competent helps you recognize your own personal hot buttons and learn how to cool yourself and others down in tough situations.
Operating In The SkillsZone®
Conflict competence engages others constructively from a powerful interactive space between flight and fight. Here, you go to the heart of the conflict and create a “best fit” resolution.

You will practice skills and processes to address real conflicts and receive feedback in a safe, controlled environment.

Prerequisite
Prior to taking this training, participants must complete a Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP) questionnaire. During this training, each participant will receive a Personal Conflict Dynamics Report and a course binder which supports all elements of this course.
What is the Conflict Dynamics Profile?
The CDP is an assessment instrument dealing with conflict behaviors in the workplace. It provides a powerful way to improve self-awareness of what triggers conflict in individuals, as well as how they respond to conflict. Based on these triggers and responses, the CDP then provides practical approaches for improving behaviors that promote more effective workplace conflict management.
