  • Webinar – 3/18/21 – Confronting Conflict with Teams – Banfield

    Virtual

    Banfield Presents: Conflict is something that, as much as we try, we cannot avoid because conflict is comes up anytime your view differs from another’s — and humans are opinionated beings. While most of us have a strong reactions to conflict, including (but not limited to) fear; avoidance; and/or dread, conflict can also have positive impacts. It can allow for exploration of new and different ways of doing things resulting in better outcomes.

By learning how to step up to conflict and confronting it head on by using the right approach, you can turn conflict into a positive for both you and your team.
