Conflict Resolution - Melbourne

Conflict Resolution Melbourne

Course Outline

Have you ever gone into a meeting where you could tell there was tension in the air, hoping it would just magically go away? What if I said that staying out of conflict in nursing is an escape akin to failing to fix a leaky pipe in your house, the longer you wait, the larger the mess!

Course Overview

Conflict in the workplace is not only inevitable but is also a sign of a dynamic and engaged team. The issue is not a lack of disagreement, it's the ability to turn disagreement from something dysfunctional into something positive, for growth and innovation. Melbourne Conflict Resolution Skills Training Our 2 day immersive program enables professionals working throughout Melbourne to develop practical, real world conflict resolution methodologies that are effective in the workplace.

Instead of fluffy, theoretical models that fall apart under pressure, they'll teach you practical models that have delivered results for businesses right across Australia. From tiny startups in Fitzroy to the multinational corporations of the CBD, these techniques have helped thousands of Melbourne professionals transform workplace tension into productive teamwork.

Emphasis is placed on hands on experience through role playing, case study review and group exercises. You will learn through real Melbourne workplaces allowing you to be job ready from day one.

Concluding Remarks

You know workplace conflict is inevitable, it's pretty much guaranteed. What's not sure is how you'll deal with it when it does. Conflict is being viewed in a different light in this class, as an opportunity for improved relations and better outcomes, instead of as a source of stress. You will walk away with actionable practices, boosted confidence, and a clear plan of action for applying these skills today.

The return on that investment is lower stress, higher productivity and better team relationships, both in the short and long term. Even better, you'll foster the courage to confront challenging issues instead of avoiding and waiting for them to go away.
