Interacting with the variety of personalities we encounter will at some point inherently create situations where our own way of dealing with situations will be different from someone else. How we approach differences and the type of outcome experienced is dependent on how each individual deals with conflict.
This training program is meant to create awareness of your own style of communication and dealing with conflict in the workplace and sensitize participants on how to interact with other personalities.
