#Join Sal Corbin and the DC Peace Team next Saturday, 4/27, 11am-1:30am ET for an #engaging #presentation and #discussion on #conflicttransformation! It is inevitable that you will be around others (#family, #work, #romance, #government.) with whom you have #fundamental #disagreements. Very little is #accomplished in the #world if this is not #true. This #fun and #challenging #workshop helps #establish a #platform for #building and #maintaining #healthy #relationships and #address #conflict when it arises. #Learn #techniques that give #people a #chance to #speak and be #heard when #tensions are high, #understand each other in a #meaningful way, and #support others in #working to #transform the #internal and #external #conditions that led to the #conflict. Different #perspectives on #healthy #engagement of #conflict based on various #styles will be #shared and #discussed with the larger #group. #Objectives: ☑ #Understand the #psychological #realities of #managing and #transforming #conflict. ✅ #Identify various #types of #conflict #management #styles. ☑ #Recognize your own #strengths and #weaknesses in #conflictmanagement. ✅ #Learn how to SHIFT and #utilize different #conflictstyles when #communicating with others to #produce better #outcomes (#transformation). ☑ Co-#create a #space that #honors and #engages with our #differences as a means of #learning and #growth.
