Conflict is inevitable in the workplace. But resolving it isn’t. Coming to agreement takes skill and planning. One of the greatest challenges when mediating conflicts is helping parties to focus on their underlying needs, values and beliefs. Focusing on underlying core interests leads to identifying common ground and moving forward.

Participants will:

• examine barriers to conflict resolution
• identify their personal styles and how they and others respond to conflict
• recognize the different ways people act and react when experiencing
• be given tools to facilitate positive interactions in less than ideal situations

Alnoor is a trained and accredited facilitator for Personality Dimensions (PD) workshops. PD is a human relations tool based on leading-edge research into human motivation and behaviour. PD helps to explain what motivates behaviour in people with different personalities.

Combine an introductory 3-hour workshop with either a Conflict Resolution or Team Building workshop to create an entire day of learning. In an ideal workplace, we would all understand each other and get along, however in reality we see things through our own lens. Temperament theory gives us the tools we need to understand the purpose behind behaviours. When we communicate, we have ‘triggers’ that can cause unwelcome behaviour, leaving us feeling uneasy and perhaps stressed. Take the introductory workshop to recognize your own unique blend of strengths and qualities, appreciate others’ differences and use your knowledge of self and others to improve interpersonal relations and teamwork.

Personality Dimensions workshops themes can include leadership development, work-life balance, and career-building.
