Conflict represents the presence
of diverse viewpoints and is a normal part of life. Yet conflict can be a big
energy leak that prevents teams and organizations from realizing their goals. How
do you create an environment where struggle with conflict and reconciliation
can spark creativity, nourish growth, jump-start productivity, and strengthen
relationships? If
you are looking for strategies for both preventing and reducing the health and
productivity costs of unresolved conflict, this workshop is for you.
During
this four-part highly experiential online workshop, “Cross Cultural Conflict
Resolution”,
you
will learn a simple and highly effective method for working with people in
conflict situations who wish to resolve their problem. The workshop
focuses on the readiness of the facilitator to work with situations of
conflict, providing skills and frameworks for conflict resolution in groups
based on universal cross-cultural practices for conflict resolution.
This workshop will interest anyone who wants to take steps to resolve conflicts to benefit people, productivity and the bottom line: leaders, managers, consultants, or members of any group or community. Workshops draw participants from all sectors – from corporate to health care and non-profit to education and the arts – and this mix adds to the richness of your learning experience.

Our Approach
Our
teaching model is rooted in experience. The facilitation process for the
workshop is Whole Person Process Facilitation, which pays attention to the
multidimensional human being including learning styles, different intelligences
and levels of consciousness. This facilitation methodology creates conditions
that maximize the learning of individual participants and also creates the
opportunity for the emergence of collective learning.
The
methodology incorporates individual reflection, paired and to large group
plenary work. The process invites participants to make genuine contact with
themselves, one other, the collective and the community – building
relationships and new ways of working together during the workshop. This allows
participants to mentor each other as they apply the learning.
The
workshop includes a workbook to support ongoing learning. Audio and video CDs
are available for purchase as an additional learning tool. All participants
have access to support and mentorship following the training through the
international network of Genuine Contact™ professionals. For more information
