Conflict Prevention Services 

There are lots of seminars to help with conflict management and conflict resolution. After almost ten years of teaching folks how to defuse anger in others, we have come to the conclusion that we should spend more time learning how to PREVENT unnecessary conflict from occurring in the first place.


  Site will be updated often. To be placed on our update list, and to receive free articles via email click here.

In 1998 we began delivering our first seminars aimed at teaching people to: 
  •  prevent unnecessary conflict from happening
  • reduce the chances that minor conflict will escalate
  • reduce conflict "personalization" (personality conflict)
  • maximize the positive outcomes of conflict and minimize the negative outcomes
As with all our seminars, we will be delivering this on an intact workgroup basis at the request of client organizations. This allows us to deal with the specific problems of a particular workplace by basing the final content on an appropriate needs assessment. 

However the following is some of the content that can be included (we can offer both one and two day workshops). 

  • Generating Models of Conflict
    • Origins of conflict
    • Escalation cycles
    • Behavioural contributors to conflict
    • Cognitive & attitudinal contributors
  • Identifying Conflict Prevention Pressure Points
  • Strategies For Conflict Prevention
    • Cooperative Communication Tactics
    • Cognitive Tactics, Affective Tactics & Re-framing
  • Reducing Personalized Conflict
  • Making Conflict Constructive
  • Blame-making, crazy making, vs. problem solving
Other topics and activities will be based on needs assessments. 

This workshop is ideal for use within a team-development context to minimize internal conflict among team members and focus them on the problem solving at hand. It also fits for supervisors, staff and managers who would like to reduce the amount of unnecessary conflict in their workplaces. Special sessions can be arranged for managers only.
