WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

To collaborate or not to collaborate? To confront or not to confront? These are the questions people need to be able to answer when working with colleagues, team members, customers, and clients. And this knowledge will help them communicate for success.

Both styles – collaboration and confrontation – have a time and place within an organization. But used in the wrong situation, they can adversely impact morale and cause the loss of ideas, productivity, and even employees.

Confrontation or Collaboration – You Choose! is a one-day workshop that will help people to explore their own behaviour, the relationships they have with others, and the results they can achieve. They will learn how small changes can make a huge difference in their results and work relationships.
