| Workshop: | Conflict Coaching: A Three-Day Basic Training |
| Time & Place: | La Quinta Motel, 902 Dillon Rd., Louisville (off the Louisville/Superior exit from the Boulder Turnpike) |
| City/Town: | Louisville, CO |
| Description: | Conflict coaching is defined as a set of skills and strategies used to support peoples’ ability to engage in, manage, or productively resolve conflict. In this process, the conflict coach works one-on-one with a coachee experiencing conflict with another person. Conflict coaching enables the coachee to talk about the conflict with a neutral third party (the conflict coach), consider options for managing the conflict, and design an approach to working out the conflict with the other person. Conflict coaching can be used as a stand-alone process or can be practiced with each of the parties in separate meetings during mediation. I have discovered that conflict coaching is a powerful vehicle for clients to develop insights about difficult conflict situations that they might be in, which can lead to meaningful change.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES: As a result of this training, participants will: Define conflict coaching and distinguish it from other processes |
