Course overview

Designed for leaders in any sphere, this course runs over four half days. It examines the procedures for addressing disputes within an organisation and takes an interdisciplinary approach to conflict resolution training, with modules on emotional intelligence and management style analysis. Participants also learn to manage difficult emotions in the workplace.

How it’s taught

Every participant receives a detailed manual that encourages them to reflect on their own approach throughout the course.

  1. 01

    Demonstration of conflict resolution skills

    Our coaches demonstrate foundational mediation and negotiation skills, and participants are free to join in and ask questions.

  2. 02

    Video demonstration

    Facilitators show recorded videos of live mediations. These help participants apply mediation skills, and to understand and critique the approaches that work best in reaching a settlement.

  3. 03

    Peer evaluation

    During the role-play exercises, participants are encouraged to assess their colleagues against a set of competencies.
