Learning Seminar: High Quality Conflict

Managers spend roughly 40% of their time involved in conflict in some form. We all experience conflict; it is unavoidable. Whether professionally at work, with a coworker, or personally in your relationships. It is just part of being human. Fortunately, the skills we need to have high-quality conflict can be learned.

Join us on April 17th for an in-person seminar that is sure to expand your knowledge on one of the most problematic issues in the workplace.

Presented by Lee Elliott.
