Why Conflict Resolution Coaching (CRC) ?
When people work together, it’s common to have personality clashes and disagreements. Unfortunately, most of us are not well equipped to respond to challenging behaviours in a way that de-escalates conflict.
What is Conflict Resolution Coaching?
CRC is a structured, ,tailored process designed to teach an individual or group how to connect and collaborate in tough situations, resolve conflict and effectively reintegrate into the team or workplace.
CRC is facilitated by an experienced, unbiased conflict resolution expert. CRC can be used to deal with a specific dispute or empower staff to gain confidence in managing conflict.
The process provides insights into greater self-awareness, group dynamics and strategies to navigate ongoing challenging situations and sessions are a flexible mixture of one-on-one and group sessions.
