Thank you for your interest in Bacal & Associates Conflict Prevention At Work Seminar.

That's what this seminar is about. It is intended to teach people to get along more effectively by helping them learn better language and conflict prevention skills. As such is is one of the only seminars of its type, which focuses on prevention.

This seminar is customized and is one day long (although longer more intense sessions can be arranged).

Following is additional information.

Intent is 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.
