Registration
Registration is now closed (this event already took place).
Details
We will explore the five different Conflict-Handling Styles of the Thomas-Kilmann Model (accommodating style, avoiding style, compromising style, competing style, and collaboration style) in conjunction with self-awareness and social awareness.
Student attendees will be able to participate in a large group activity, engage in small group conversation, and leave with practical tools to put into use the moment they leave the workshop.
Students will leave the workshop with a greater understanding of their conflict-handling style, other's conflict-handling styles, and will have some tools to confidently lead their organization -filled with multiple conflict-handling styles- through conflict in the future.
